For those wondering, it's most likely a jab at unity with it's new license model, as you could code in C# in it.

Is c# mainly just used in this engine?

[–] [email protected] 91 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's probably a tiny fraction of the C#/dotnet ecosystem. But hobbyist meme creators mostly care about games, I guess.

[–] onizuka89 54 points 1 year ago

No, as other's have pointed out it's not. There are plenty of other areas to use it, even in other game engines. OP is just trying to make it seem funny by making the exaggerated narrative that it's the only use case for C#. If Boo was still around in Unity this joke would been accurate with that, don't think that was used anywhere else

It is also the language of DotNet framework so hardly.

I mean Windows is also undergoing enshitification it could still be true?

Dotnet has been cross platform for a while now (so long it's not even called dotnet core anymore)

[–] Lmaydev 10 points 1 year ago

It's been cross platform and open source for like 10 years now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

While true, businesses have it even harder to migrate to Linux (what else is there when talking enshittification?) than private users. Windows and dotnet won't go anywhere anytime soon.

Distributed deployment of DotNet solutions is a bit more attractive on linux though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

On their desktops, sure. But most apps are web based and back end apps are all services - running on Linux. I worked at a fortune 100 financial firm a couple years back. Hundreds of .NET apps, all running in Linux containers on Amazon ECS clusters or Lambdas.

No, C# is a general purpose language that Unity has a botched, outdated version of.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not at all. Unity's use of C# is pretty unconventional even. Not representative at all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Absolutely not. It’s used everywhere on the web and other places.

[–] hairyballs 2 points 1 year ago

WTF I didn't understand, thanks for the explanation. The fact that it's used all around the world in big companies doesn't matter I guess.
