The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I would like to give this a try:

"... One crazy idea that the team had at that dinner was to translate
Android’s source code to C#. Android would benefit from C# performance
features like structures, P/Invoke, real generics and our more mature
runtime. ..."
"... When C# came around, Microsoft modified the language in a couple
of significant ways that made it easier to optimize. Value types were
introduced to allow small objects to have low overheads and virtual
methods were made opt-in, instead of opt-out which made for simpler
VMs. Later on, Java and C# diverged in the way that they implemented
generics. Java went with a full-backwards compatibility approach,
while C# baked the support into the runtime. The C# approach led to a
simple-to-use, simple-to-understand generics setup as well as being
much more performant and complete. ..."
"... Since then, both the language and the execution environment have
continued to evolve and improve. C# went from being a slightly better
Java to be light-years ahead. From embracing dynamic programming,
bring asynchronicity into the language, introduce iterators,
functional programming constructs, embrace parallelism and got a great
implementation of generics. ..."

the only doubt I have about c# on android is the lack of xaml support
