C# has aspects from Java and Delphi (kind of a son to Pascal) and has 
evolved since then.

Anders Hejlsberg was chief architect behind Delphi at Borland, then went 
to MS to work on J++ and later the lead architect for C#.  So there are 
definitely influences from both.

I happen to really like a lot of what C# does, they've managed to 
integrate a lot of features in ways that don't feel completely wrong, 
though I have mixed feelings on linq syntax (the extensions are great 
though).

JavaScript is still my favorite language, generally speaking and I've 
been warming up to TypeScript recently.  Also dabbled in Rust a bit this 
past year, which is nice, but I go a few months without touching it and 
feels like starting over every single time.
