What is the difference between J# and C#

Question

I have been reading around about people using J#.

But my question is: What is the difference between J# and C#?

OK, my understanding of J# is like C# but in Java. Am I correct in that? Was J# before C#?

I hope someone can help me understand this better.

Answer 1

C# is MS's ECMA standard langauge that borrows heavily from C/C++/Java (and a couple of concepts from Delphi).

J# is essentially a version of J++ for the .NET platform. It accepts the Java-esque language that J++ did but produces .NET code rather than Java bytecodes.
