Would it be better for me to study Java or C#?

[Malasart]

I am currently studying pure mathematics in Portugal. However, I intend to move to another country.

I chose pure mathematics because I am interested in the area of quantitative research and development. I still don't know if I will choose a master's degree in computer science or finance in the future.

That's why I'm trying to choose a flexible path, since I'm just starting out. I currently program in Python and C++, but I'm looking for another tool. Would Java or C# be better? I saw that both are used, is there any particularity? Which one has more opportunities?

Thank you!

C# is much better than Java for quant stuff (Java is good for other things).
C++ and C# are close.

Many shops use C# because its many advantages.

C# for Financial Markets​

​

​

Daniel J. Duffy and Andrea Germani
C# is a modern object-oriented programming language that runs under the Microsoft .NET Framework and it is suitable for the development of pricing and trading applications in quantitative finance. It has functionality to support the needs of quants and traders who develop fixed income and computational finance applications. It is more accessible than C++ and has interfaces with other tools such as Excel, C++, F# and database systems. C# for Financial Markets is a practice-oriented book that shows how to design and program pricing and trading models using the C# programming language. It is a step-by-step account of how to develop software programs that can be used by traders in real life situations. The reader will discover how to design and implement real finance applications including new methodologies that were developed after the crash of 2007. The approach is thorough and comprehensive and the authors use a combination of C# language features, design patterns, mathematics and finance to produce efficient and maintainable software.
