What ever you were designing, it's almost certain that a more expensive, and mission critical system than yours was already built with C#. Objecting to a major language as C# because it's "closed-source" seems irrational to me. Why does it matter if it's open or closed-source? It's not like you can realistically invest time to dig in the source code and modify it, in the rare case that you found a problem. C# had huge amounts of money invested on it, probably more than your entire project you were planning.

Except that exactly this has happened with lots of libraries that we use, and sometimes also language implementations. Compilers and interpreters aren't any more scary than other projects, really.
