To understand this, I think you must look at the number of technical users for
each language. There are a huge number of technical C++ and Java programmers
but a tiny number of technical C# programmers in comparison. The few
technical C# programmers are migrating to F# because it is next door and F#
programmers are better looking.
Most C# programmers are (a) GUI programmers and (b) former VB
programmers. This means they are *guaranteed* to be less attractive
that the average C++ developer. I have proof. But it's too big to be
contained in this margin.
