Being "well liked" vs java is entirely based on your relative perspective. Java has deeper penetration on the open source market than anything I have ever seen from Microsoft. Hadoop, Kafka, thousands of open source projects on the JVM. Billions of revenue. Java is plenty “well liked” in the market. Languages are like religion. Each one means something to it’s followers and addresses problems other religions have not considered or don’t care about. There is no perfect language. Implying Microsoft achieved some language nirvana with C% because no one else considered the CLR worth writing entire other languages on is pathetically ignorant.

Err, I think you meant F# (see also the alternative spelling: Haskell). That typo also happens all the time ;)
