Java-killer yes. I do not know if it is of the week. But it was made
primarily to make Java programmers to switch to .NET. The programmers of
the other languages can continue using the languages they currently use.

:) C++'s way has nothing to do with C#s. Also VBs way has nothing to do
with C#s! It is simply another language, which as you suggested is
intended to lure Java programmers. .NET is an API and doesn't require to
use C#.
