C# is a simple, modern, and an object-oriented programming language. The purpose of C# was to develop a programming language that is not only easy to learn but also supports modern day functionality for all kind of software development.
If you look at the history of programming languages and their features, each programming language was designed for a specific purpose to solve a specific need at that time.
C# language however was designed to keep business and enterprises needs in mind. This language was designed for businesses to build all kinds of software by using one single programming language.
It provides functionality to support modern day software development. Supports Web, Mobile, and app development needs. Some of the modern-day programming language features C# supports are generics, var types, auto initialization of types and collections, lambda expressions, dynamic programming, asynchronous programming, tuples, pattern matching, advanced debugging and exception handling, and more.
Syntaxes are influenced from C++, Java, Pascal and few other languages that are easy to adopt. It also avoids complexity and unstructured language features.
Is open source under the .NET Foundation, which is governed and run independently of Microsoft. Language specifications, compilers, and related tools are open source projects on Github. While C# language feature design is lead by Microsoft, the open source community is very active in the language development and improvements.
It's fast compare to several other high-level programming languages. C# 8 has many performance improvements.
You can build .NET applications that can be deployed on Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms. Apps can also be deployed in cloud and containers.
Is a type safe language and does not allow type conversions that may lead to data loss or other problems. It also focuses on writing efficient code.
