If they did not watch just C++ and Java they might have come up with something much better, much more up to date. With a type system that does not force you to spend ten percent of your typing typecasting for example. With a system of functional pointers (oh, sorry, delegates) that doesn't require a hundred characters to get anything at all done. With real closures instead of the ones restricted to a single object. With in place closures so that you do not have to name something used just once and then scroll two pages up to find that single line statement surrounded by five lines of nonsense required by the language in order for it to be a proper method. Etc. etc. etc.

Don't talk to me 'bout C#. I've had to use it.
