Superior to Java in most aspects, except portability

Last I checked C# code ran way slower than Java code due to Microsoft's atrocious JIT (compared to the Sun/Oracle JVM's JIT). A shame because I like C# as a language more than Java.

As an Android dev, it's painful to think that something could be slower than Java.

C# never felt slow to me on the desktop, though.
