C# is now a better language than Java

Mono notwithstanding, getting into C# culture and ecosystem isn't really feasible for pure-UNIX developers like me. Java takes the cake there.

why not withstand mono? I've worked on two open source projects that used mono and we've had a great time with it. It's portable, FOSS, runs fast, compiles (almost) everything, and has a strong and vibrant community.

The JVM is closed source, which is a non-starter for me. Why should I invest in a proprietary platform that is lagging in features and support?

The JVM is GPLed.
