What is C#? Nedir?

C# (C Sharp) was developed in 2000 under the leadership of Anders Hejlsberg as part of Microsoft's .NET initiative. Drawing attention with syntax similar to Java and a strong type system, C# has continuously evolved with modern features like LINQ, async/await, pattern matching, and nullable reference types. C# runs on the .NET runtime and supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux. With .NET Core (now .NET 5+), it has become truly platform-independent. ASP.NET Core enables development of high-performance web APIs and applications. In the gaming world, Unity's use of C# as its scripting language has greatly boosted the language's popularity. Tools like Xamarin (now .NET MAUI) for mobile apps, WPF and WinForms for desktop apps, and Azure Functions for cloud services are part of the C# ecosystem. With Microsoft's open-source strategy, C# and .NET have become fully open source. It maintains its strong position in enterprise software, game development, and Windows applications.
