Not sure, but to be honest, and as far as I'm concerned, if C# is on the list, it only means that you should stop reading the article and do something better with your time ..

I did that ...

Agreed. I skimmed it over and saw C#, VB.Net, and Java. No need to keep reading in my opinion.

Yeah, why the hell is C# on the list?!

Oh, yeah, because knowing it makes you much more attractive to a large number of employers. That is pretty much the point of the list, not which languages are cooler, or which languages YOU like.

Mono isn't a language, it's a framework...you would still need to learn C#, VB, python, etc...but yeah Mono is a great way to learn the basics of the .NET framework.
