Take Java. Make it Windows only. Fix some mistakes. Tweak performance. Add a little functionality (e.g. operator overloading). That is C#. Both are designed for GUI and web programming, so they don't fare well for massive concurrency, high-performance numerics or allocation-intensive algorithms (e.g. idiomatic functional programming).
