C# vs. Scala vs. COBOL

C# is the most productive production language - it exposes a lot of functional conveniences along with the robustness of strong typing. And they're finally embracing the open source community - a huge plus.

#Language Features We use the basic syntax (for, foreach, if,while) and object oriented constructs (classes, very simple inheritance).

We also use lambdas and block methods extensively, an intermediate level programming construct, but in a very formulaic and predictable way.

Primarily for game and VR development. Also for one off windows client applications.

Used the MongoDB's C# driver to parse large dataset in .csv files and insert into MongoDB.

All of our code is in C#

The main Carbonmade backend / API is written in C# and is ready to run on the CLR. We currently host on Windows but are preparing to migrate to Linux when the CoreCLR stabilizes.

Running the server side API

One of our primary languages.

Programming language

Most of our codebase is C#

Server side development language and frameworks: ASP.Net MVC 4, Asp.Net WebApi 2, Razor View engine, Moq, Entity Frameworks, etc.

Language of choice for Windows desktop and mobile apps

Base language to develop all the features

Out of necessity

Backend code

originally used c# a decade ago when writing the tools for superman returns at my stint with electronic arts, have used it again recently for developing in unity.

sdas

Backend language of choice

Exclusively for Unity. No .NET sorry :/

Developing programming skills. Algorithms and data structure techniques. working in various types of project from windows forms to asp.net core

C# is our language of choose. Who really uses VB.NET?

C# is my most well-known language. I work with it since my university studies.

Heavily used in front-end client scripting and backend infrastructure; we've been progressively migrating all our infrastructure to be written in C#/.NET Core.

For the alexa skill intents and importing/indexing song data

General purpose API code

No need for this anymore. We use nwjs/elecron instead.

PrometheanTV has used .NET and C# for several back-end applications and services including the Morphic Video Task System utilized to stream video assets to a variety of video delivery platforms including, Akamai, Brightcove, and others.

Unity3d builds the app and scripts are written in C#. It receives first class support from the Unity3d developer and most plugins exist in C# in comparison to Javascript (the other supported scripting language)

Nearly our entire server codebase is written in Scala (if you haven't heard of it, it's a programming language that is basically what you would get if Java + ML had a baby). This has worked out super well. It enables us to write concise easy to deal with code that is typechecked at compile time. It's also been a big help with recruiting.

Programming language

We use Scala instead of Java to build Android App faster and more gracefully.

It's the language of Spark. DStreams and transformations.

Fo it's functional prowess

Used to build a wrap over Gatling to automate the stress testing.

I've been using scala commercially since 2008 in Banks and other projects.

Functional and conccurency programming

Replaces entirely the Java Language to build a much more expressive and powerful code on the backend, while leveraging at the same time the Java Platform Tools and Frameworks, is a mixture of old and mature with new and sexy.

Writing Scala is an enjoyable experience. What's more satisfying then using map to process your data in an array.

Scala, Akka and Spray (which became Akka-Http) provided the building blocks for the menu service.
Akka's actors and finite-state machine were a natural way to model a USSD menu (a series of stateful interactions between a subscriber and the USSD gateway).

Scala is the God of languages. A legend. The Mount Rushmore of hybrid OO/functional languages is Scala's face four times over.

Ok, honestly, we love Scala. We love(d) Java (and it's parents C and C++), and we love(d) all the languages that borrowed cough stole cough from Java over the years such as Groovy, Clojure, and C#.

It may not be perfect (it totally is, but since programming languages don't have egos of their own, we don't want to paint it too bright), but it is awesome. It runs on the JVM, you can utilize Spring, it works great for data processing (which is sorta kinda the thing we do here, folks), and it just makes sense at all levels.

If you don't like Scala, we feel sorry for the projects that are suffering due to your choices, meanwhile we are using Scala to write everything from JavaScript, CSS, SQL, and JSON directly within itself (go figure), so in the end no one will know the beauty of this powerhouse language (except for our engineers, of course).

New micro services are on this stack

Programming language for the core SRX tools

Functionnal Programming at its best.

worked with scala for around 2 years. really enjoyed the language and getting back into the world of functional. unfortunately the community is heavily fragmented and the language itself broken and inconsistent. that with the various factions involved made it a put of for long term investment.
