I’ve seen worse in enterprise shops and then I’ve gotten into nasty arguments with people who don’t care about programming. They can’t be wrong.
C# is a high level language that can handle a degree of sloppy programming.
I was working on a small tool yesterday. It was easier to vibe code it from scratch in C# than to modify an existing Rust project.
The only weird part is VS Code Copilot couldn’t figure out how to build it via the dotnet cli and I had to install VS Studio. After that everything was fine.
I would say that C# is "less colored" than Rust. Handling a moved argument, a borrowed argument, a copied argument is different in Rust, you have to think upfront about memory lifetimes. If you are wrong the first time, changing the ownership is not a simple localized refactoring.
