Given that all Turing complete languages are theoretically equivalent,
nothing, either way.

Same question, same answer.  but...

Different question, more realistic answer...

I don't believe there are many C# experts who post here, so I'll share
the teeny bit I know from other postings.

The smart people who investigated integrating Python as a full-fledged
.NET CLR language gave up because they found the [common intermediate
language] to be unsuitable for Python.  I believe it had to do with
dynamic typing vs. C#, etc, static typing.  So I speculate that
generic programming (writing functions that work with any behaviorally
compatible objects) is much easier in Python than C#.

Maybe someone more knowledgable will chime in.
