Best programming language to code RS related programs in?

[Kratom]

Hey, I've been working on quite a few RS related utilities/programs lately and I've begun working on them in VB.NET and Visual C# .NET until I realized they are problematic to run on systems such as Linux and Mac.

Is it worth it to start over on Java or another cross-platform language?

Sure since Java works on more systems.
But via Wine they should be able to work on linux systems.

C++ or java
But yeah java's multi platform and also a lot of bots are coded in java, its makes to go that way.

Java's very nice, you can create a LOT of applications that can be spread throughout different OS's (and shared online for that matter)

Java wins for me <3

java, it runs on 3 billion devices which I'm sure is not right since there are even more devices running it.
