C# sucks - it's in a .NET runtime which really slows it down.  It's
also stuck as a Windows ONLY thing - don't do it unless you've got
time to spend wasting your time on a worthless language.

However, there is some hope for C# - Borland is making their own spin
on it, which should be much better than MS's garbage...
