With Java allowing void main() {} like C,

and now shebang C# scripts,

is everything converging into one meta language?



Interpreted general purpose languages have been fairly similar for a while. I worked with C# for a decade, Go replaced it for us (for human reasons not technical ones) but these days everything is basically Python and then some C/Zig for parts that require efficiency.


Give me some sane subset of TypeScript with native support and I'll use it everywhere. But C# is far from as convenient as TypeScript so far. Just a few more years of convenience language features and APIs added, and I think it'll be set.


Every subset of Lisp is growing into a full Lisp :)
