Nope. Microshit is stupid to even try to copy Jva. I hold up a page of
Java code and a page ofC++ and tell you which is which. Java is not a
variant of C++. Java is a very different variant of C . Otherwise it
would not be so popular. After all, if it were a C++ variant why would
people go to all the trouble to switch from C++.

C# OTOH is a clear rip off of Java. It is hard if not impossible to
take a C# program remove all "Microsoft Enhancements" ( meaning
all the features that tie it to COM ) and have it not look like a Java
program. I suggest that if you want to continue Astroturfing, you
learn something about programming language syntax.
