I've discovered a whole new reason to love C# and that is source generators. But also, I've now gotten to the point where my C# CLI apps are as short and succinct as anything similar in python, through the magic of metadata and some code I wrote. Complete with using screens, defaults, etc.

I wrote something to parse a C header file and extract relevant information. From conception to testing to delivery in two hours, about a page and a half of C# code.

Frankly, I agree with Mr. Pfeifer below. I don't need Python, I've got solid tools as it is.

And no goddammned signficant whitespace!**

** funny thing about that.

I actually use minimization in my .NET projects[^]

I do it as part of an alternative to static linking which isn't really available with C#. To save space (sometimes a meg of whitespace!), and to deliberately obscure these files and prevent me from modifying them - rather than modifying the source that they are generated from. I've gotten out of sync before. This keeps me honest.

Python can't do that. In fact, python makes code generation itself a royal pain because of the pigheaded insistence of imposing indents on you.
