Yep. But despite all of the advantages C# has, I have an aversion to
languages controlled by Microsoft for its ends. I suppose it is
better than one controlled by Apple for their ends (Apple demands that
we do everything its way), but I want to use a tool on all platforms.

Sun wanted to do this with Java, but because it isn't the 500 pound
gorilla in the marketplace, it found a more palatable alternative.
