Csharp

C# is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET platform. It was designed by Anders Hejlsberg and released in the early 2000s, with the first public version in 2002. C# aims to combine the expressiveness of C-style languages with the safety and productivity features of managed languages. It runs on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and is designed to work well with other .NET languages and libraries.

C# provides static typing, strong type safety, automatic memory management via garbage collection, and a rich standard library. It supports features such as generics, delegates, events, operator overloading, and extensive libraries for various tasks. It includes language constructs for asynchronous programming (async/await), LINQ for data queries, pattern matching, nullable reference types, tuples, and local functions, all of which contribute to expressive and reliable code.

C# is cross-platform through the .NET platform, including .NET Core and the current unified .NET releases. It is commonly used for Windows desktop applications (Windows Forms, WPF), web applications (ASP.NET Core), cloud services, and game development (notably via Unity). The ecosystem relies on the Roslyn compiler, Visual Studio and other IDEs, and NuGet for package management, to provide tools for development, testing, and deployment.

C# has formal standardization by ECMA and ISO/IEC and has evolved through periodic releases that add features such as records, top-level statements, and enhanced pattern matching. Influenced by languages like C, C++, and Java, it remains widely adopted in enterprise software, web services, and mixed-reality and game development contexts, supported by a large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks.
