C# (Pronounced: See Sharp

C# is a high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft in 2000, later becoming an international standard. Initially introduced with closed-source products, C# evolved with the launch of the Mono project in 2004, which provided a cross-platform environment. Over the years, Microsoft has embraced open-source development with tools like Visual Studio Code and Roslyn, while Mono remains a separate entity within the .NET ecosystem.

C# 

(pronounced see sharp)[b] is a general-purpose, high-level multi-paradigm programming


language. C# encompasses static typing, strong typing, lexically
scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based),
and component-oriented programming disciplines.[16]
The C# programming language was designed by Anders Hejlsberg from Microsoft in 2000 and
was later approved as an international standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) in 2002
and ISO/IEC (ISO/IEC 23270) in 2003. Microsoft introduced C# along with .NET
Framework and Visual Studio, both of which were closed-source. At the time, Microsoft had no
open-source products. Four years later, in 2004, a free and open-source project
called Mono began, providing a cross-platform compiler and runtime environment for the C#
programming language. A decade later, Microsoft released Visual Studio Code (code
editor), Roslyn (compiler), and the unified .NET platform (software framework), all of which
support C# and are free, open-source, and cross-platform. Mono also joined Microsoft but was
not merged into .NET.
