Gentle reminder that architect of C# was snatched by Microsoft from Borland. Before that he was main guy at Borland for Pascal/Delphi. So I'm not so sure he simply copied from Java anything.

His first job at Microsoft was creating J++.

He was not snatched, he left Borland unhappy with its management and Microsoft was the obvious choice as next employer.

snatching wutt? They could have paid more to keep him.

Not a Microsoft fan either, but Borland managers have no right to complain :)
