Microsoft's leader of C# development, writer of the Turbo Pascal system, and lead architect on the Delphi language, Anders Hejlsberg, reveals all there is to know on the history, inspiration, uses and future direction of one of computer programming's most widely used languages - C#. Hejlsberg also offers some insight into the upcoming version of C# (C#4) and the new language F#, as well as what lies ahead in the world of functional programming.

Yer, and look at the state of the development landscape on Sun's client and workstation systems :-). Confused, disjointed and not something you feel confident developing on at all.

The lack of usage of java in the OS has nothing to do with the quality of the dev environment on their client and server systems.

This is getting away from C# but:

Java was never designed to be a multi-language run time framework that was set to be the central framework used to develop applications for the Solaris ecosystem.

.net is set to be the central framework used to develop applications for the Windows ecosystem. it is more cohesive than Java's mess of a framework and a lot more developer friendly.
