I mostly finished a feature-wise comparison, along the lines of "almost
everything C# does, Dylan does better" but then I got bored with it. I'll
see if I can dig it up. However, the things that C# probably does better
are (a) keep reasonably happy any programmers migrating from (C++,) VB and
Java; and (b) integrate with all this new-fangled ".NET" stuff.
HTH,
