I’ve been using Delphi before and it looks like a grown/better Pascal. C# is a c-family language which seems weird right after the switch, however you start appreciate C syntax a bit later.

I think C# was an attempt to design MS Java which is better than Java

Your both right, C# was MS Java-but-better designed by the designer of Delphi, who had recently (perhaps specifically for that project) been hired by MS.

The little ugly fact is that Anders was also involved in the Microsoft Java effort.
