Glad that you had a better experience than what I got. The statement you quote gains full meaning with the sentence that follows about how it's not necessarily a matter of how fast the language is intrinsically as it is about what people end up writing in practice in the midst of "real life" development. In my experience C# is a great language by nature, but riddled with foot guns, bloated libraries that love doing runtime reflection and other organizational problems that typically surround the development process.
