I didn't say that ECMA created or endorsed C#. I said that it's an ECMA standard because no matter how much posturing anyone wants to do, it is one. Features of C# 3.0 and 4.0 have too been included in the ECMA standard. So yes, we can definitely refer to C# as an ECMA language...for crying out loud. The standard is not updated as often as Microsoft or Mono release a new version of their runtime (ohnoes!), just like web standards when a browser Mfr. comes out with a new feature.
