I was wondering how powerful is C# compared to the other programming languages because I've heard it combines the power of C++ and the Simplicity of Visual Basic.

if you're programming as a hobby, picking a language is just a matter of which syntax you like best. the technical differences between the languages will hardly ever come into play. most of the "power" in a language comes from you anyway. if you want to see what the language is like, try it out. but if there's something that you find difficult in c++ or VB don't expect it to be a piece of cake in c#.

C# is a great language to learn, it isn't as easy as VB though, and there are alot of keywords. But it is pretty similar to DM, it is like a crossbreed of java and VB. MS makes a free compiler for it, and there are a few compilers that will let you port it to *nix. And the library MS has for it is huge there are many many many functions.
