C# is an object-oriented programming language that was released in 2000 by Microsoft. Even after these many years, C# still is one of the most used technology for creating a vast number of applications.
C# applications use the .NET framework including the .Net runtime, pre-defined libraries and more. The programming language is created for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). This interface includes executable code along with the runtime environment.

With easy syntax and less complexity, C# is the most common language among programmers. And, it does have many more perks other than its simple format.
Using the OOPs principles, C# makes it simple to manage objects without needing to worry about their inner attributes. Not just that, by defining data as objects, the programming language breaks the application further into smaller parts.
This makes the creation of applications faster as well as easier to manage and combine the modules together.
Language interoperability makes C# programming even more convenient. This feature provides C# with the capability to interact with applications written in various different compatible languages. For instance, C++, F#, etc.
Hence, developers can work with different languages in one assembly.
C#, being a compiled language, saved the code on a public-facing server in binary format. Therefore, even when hackers get access to your server, they do not get direct access to the source code.
Unlike PHP and other languages which hands over the database passwords to the hacker through the source code, C# cannot be accessed that easily. One must decompile the software before being able to find out any related critical component.
This makes C# a secure coding language.
Apart from all the great things that C# can accomplish, the programming language does share some limitations too.
While it won’t feel that difficult to learn C#, an added need to understand the .Net libraries make the overall process a little more complex. Not to forget, .Net libraries keep on updating too often.
Plus, you do require to use multiple runtimes for creating cross-platform applications. This is because neither C# nor .Net have native support for Mac or Linux.
It is not possible to carry out low-level programming. For instance, if you wish to write code for drivers to interact with hardware directly, you might have to look for other options.
Developers need to compile the code every time a change is made. This includes even the smallest of changes in the code. To be precise, after every edit in the source code, developers must recompile the entire application as well as deploy it on the server. Not only it is time-consuming but can introduce more bugs following the changes aren’t tested properly.
