If you asked "is Java a good language to write a chess engine in?" on this board I'm willing to bet the majorities response would say that no, it is not, due to the fact that it is interpreted at runtime, and therefore slow. The actual syntax of the language would recieve little attention. The C# syntax is extremely close to that of Java's. The main difference is in the implementation. I suppose you could argue that the languages are both Java, but I think the summation of the syntax, libraries, and runtime implementation amount to them being two entirely separate entities. -Kevin
