Microsoft's handle on language development (thanks to Anders Hejlsberg) is the best in the industry.

Thanks to Don Syme? F# surpasses C# as a language, and a lot of the CLRs power comes from proper generics. And Simon Peyton Jones (Haskell is pretty neat, isn't it)?

C#'s a nice contender against Java, but in my hindsight, it had an overly limited vision.

Are you saying that F# is a more radical departure from OCAML then C# is from Java?

C# is a pragmatic language. It never was about pushing boundaries.
