I'm going to keep my response brief: 1) .NET is not a language, and calling it such is just silly. 2) I've built everything from insanely high-performance emulators (IronBabel) to kernels (Renraku) to computer vision applications (not announced yet) using .NET; all of these are "1.7oz burgers", and all of them were performant, flexible, and easy to build.
