I love C# and think it's a great language, but when it was as old as Swift is now it was widely perceived as a Java clone. In fact, even today C# and Java are much closer in language design philosophy and implementation than C# and Swift, and calling Swift a "C# clone" betrays a profound lack of familiarity with what Swift is or how it works.
