Um, no. C# is a modern version of J++, which was a M$ (read bastardized)
version of Java. M$ was sued for Java license violations, and forced to
remove J++ from their OS and stop selling it. Years later, it's re-released
as C#.
It's not new. They did not invent it.
Depends on what you mean by "invent". The same argument could be made that
Sun didn't invent Java, since many of its concepts were borrowed from other
languages.
C# is very definitely not a hacked up version of Java. It is definitely a
similar family language, though, and both of them bother me in the same
ways.
I'm glad that Java has finally made people realize that memory management
is a good thing to have in a language. I can't say that I otherwise
particularly like either language.
