As far as the language goes, I agree with this but I'd take JVM over CLR anytime.

"but I'd take JVM over CLR anytime"

Because of cross-platformity, or is there more?

Because it's cross platform, yes. Huge advantage.

Also, performance. Both the .NET and Mono JITs are still significantly behind HotSpot.

Modula-3 was a better Java way before somebody thought of naming a programming language after an Indonesian island…

[considering that there are 17000 Indonesian islands, this statement might not be factual]
