"Java generics is superior to C#" - That's a first for me. C# generics don't have to do boxing of types like java does, and overall have much better type safety between library boundaries, etc...

The guys from Scala.NET did mention .NET generics as one of the reasons they gave up on porting Scala to .NET. That is also a reason why .NET needed the whole effort to create DLR and the dynamic keyword, while Java only needed to add one additional bytecode invokedynamic.

  .NET has F# and Clojure so not convinced by this

    It only reveals how little you know about type system differences between Scala, F# and Clojure.

C# also declined to make the mistake of type erasure.
