The C# language reference manual was written by Anders Hejlsberg and Scott
Wiltamuth. I believe that Hejlsberg wrote Turbo Pascal and Delphi and was
lured away from Borland by Microsoft a while ago. To me C# (aren't they
sticking their necks out with that name?) resembles Delphi with curly
brackets. Hejlsberg has included procedural delegates for handling events,
properties, and a number of other features that appear in Delphi and Object
Pascal.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/nextgen/technology/csharpintro.asp
I don't think that it resembles Euphoria overmuch. It's big with quite a
few primitive data types, control structures, operators, and so on. Where
Euphoria has a single aggregate type, the sequence, C# has a bunch. Despite
what the press release said about portability, C# seems to be tied strongly
into Win32 API. For example, one must use existing class libraries because
there are none for C#.

About the only thing "identical to euphoria" is the rough linkage to C/C++.
It's feature list and syntax looks suspiciously close to Java's, although
the documentation is careful never to mention it, instead disingeniously
claiming to be derived from C/C++. Rumor has it that Microsoft was working
on a 'Java killer', since they were unable to dilute/tie Java to the Windows
platform. But C# isn't entirely a Java clone; unique features include:
- limited support for pointers
- use of COM objects
- runs only on the Windows platform
