We're talking with RLH who has offered to do C# port.

seriously?
many people (myself included) consider C# a cheap M$- java knockoff.

Lol, this guy. I'd be inclined to agree if it were still ~2004. My opinion, and preference, is both based on observations, conversions (from Java to C#) and working in an analytics department that was 80% java developers and 10% .Net.

We .Net devs would have to sit through the agony of Java lectures about new Java 8 features... that we've used for 5 years. Or, we'd be asked to migrate tasks from Java to C#, so that our C# team could manage processes. Often, line-for-line conversions were faster in execution and rarely did we even care to optimize the converted code since time is money.

Disclaimer: This was for a BIG corporation and our department ran everything strictly on Windows Server machines. I will concede (from running some personal tests) that there is a fair chance that Java would be on par with .Net apps, or likely better, in OS X or Linux systems running on top of Mono.

Of course, I ran those tests about 1-2 years ago and a LOT has changed regarding .Net on these platforms in the past year since M$ is moving a lot of code to Github.
