I think if someone asks for appropriate programming languages for
helping with Fedora, the last advise he should get is looking at C#,
.NET or Java.  The Fedora (and Unix/Linux world) supports these, but
only languages like C/C++/Python/Perl/shell are (and should) used for
the base environment.

Please do not encourage people to use C# or Java for system-level
programs.
