.NET and C# appeared to counter the proliferation of Java after J++ has been sidelined in court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_J%2B%2B#Sun's_litigatio...


Yep, there was also J# an intermediary language so you could run old J++ code on .NET iirc which obviously became defunct sooner rather than later since C# became defacto.

I have yet to meet a C# dev who actually touched J++ or J# to be honest.
