My point is if you are doing business (especially web) apps. Use one of JVM langs insted of C# because ecosystem is much bigger (and it has fresher langs as well like Kotlin - if that's what you care about)
Despite having to spend extra time translating C API headers into C#, the productivity gains of the higher-level memory safe language were enormous.
Another example, I have shipped commercial embedded software running on ARM Linux, and based on .NET Core runtime. The major parts of the implementation were written in idiomatic memory-safe C#.

Well, these business web apps are precisely the long-running servers I have mentioned. Still, the software ecosystem is not limited to that class of problems, and due to different tradeoffs Java is not great for anything else.
