No... if Java isn't used in system programming, which is what storage, and databases sort of is, C# has no hope of doing it. At least due to tradition. Same way how nobody will write Linux utilities in C++, even though it's technically possible. It's just a tradition. Storage people have a very strong allergy to anything that comes from Microsoft. You probably would have a better chance of writing storage applications in Common Lisp than C#. Only Microsoft uses its own storage products in places that matter. Even just having to integrate with Microsoft's products is seen as a huge pain that's not worth the effort. And, truth be told... I want it to stay that way. Companies like Microsoft should be kept as far away as possible from critical infrastructure. We failed on few fronts, and are paying through the nose for it. It's nice that at least on this front, this is not a problem. Also, on a personal level, no other language makes me want to puke as much as C# does. I mean, to the point that if the only programming jobs available in the world were the ones that ask for programming in C#, I'd go farming or cleaning... whatever. Just not touch that steaming pile ever again.
