I have been nearly sidelined twice by underestimating C# and MVVM (which is what Xamarin forms uses).

If you think that C# is just MS version of java then please take a deep look at it again. The only big thing that I can think of adding to it would be pattern matching - it has pretty much everything else, even monads for threads (async await) which is crazy awesome.

C# 5.0 is like Java 10.0 (when/if it gets released).
