Hi Hans:

That would not be unusual. Petty larceny in the computer business is standard fair. C# undoubtedly stole their concepts from their contemporaries and predecessors. If there is one or two real unique improvements in any one language it is considered revolutionary. The best just steal the most. ;-)

This axiom describes the most successful: "Never in human conflict, has so few stole so much from so many..."

PHP was originally developed as a language for the web. C# was not. So it is unlikely PHP and C# will ever share common strengths (nor should they).
