As "Doolwind" mentioned it has some of the best features (interfaces, delegates, lambdas...) from many other languages in built for us to use. It is of course, a generic language but we tend to use these allot more now days right? When considering performance I find that it is very flexible, still not as fast as C++ but the .Net team have put allot of effort into their compiler and as of C# .4 using XNA I can easily show high end graphical effects with acceptable performance. Considering its a well thought of language I would definitely give it a go as performance is not what makes a language good for games, I believe it is flexibility.

However this is only at the high-end and only on certain operations. C#'s run-time performance on the whole is quite close to C++. What are your specific concerns? Unless you're making the next AAA high-end game I think using performance as a reason to stay away from C# isn't correct. guptan-
