C# 3.0 seems to be taking a lot of features from Boo. (which is a good thing)

Type inference:
C# 3.0: var i = 5;
Boo: i = 5

Lambda expressions:
C# 3.0: x => X + 1
Boo: { x as int | return x + 1 }

Object initializers:
C# 3.0: var a = new Point { X = 0, Y = 1 }
Boo: a = Point(X: 0, Y: 1)

Query expressions:
C# 3.0: from c in customers where c.City == "London" select c
Boo: c for c in customers if c.City == "London"

There are a few proposed others that will be put in Boo in a little while. (but probably before C# 2.0 comes out of beta)

If you want to at least check out these nice features today, while having a prettier syntax, take a look at Boo.
