Nope nope nope. C# is a statically typed, statically compiled (i.e., no
eval(...) or exec(...)), single-inheritance langauge with a
bondage-and-discipline syntax almost identical to Java's. It compiles to
run on the Common Language Runtime, which is conceptually similar to the
JVM.
Other than some syntactic sugar, C#'s primary difference from the latest
Java (v1.5) is that its standard libraries (the .Net stuff) are much poorer
-- this is particularly noticeable in its Collections API.
