Better compare against languages that games, kernels, and compilers are typically implemented in.

Games... So, C# then? :)

If you’re talking about Unity it’s fair to point out that the game engine itself is built in C++ with C# being a user land VM. But a lot of mobile and a few PC games are written in Java

I was more thinking that C# and Java are close to identical.

I know they have some different features and can feel a little different, but they’re much closer to each other than ML and Haskell, say.
