>Not simply: it uses languages which require attention to matters (is it static? is it virtual? is it public? can I overload it?) in a way that other static languages (e.g., Boo, Nemerle) do not. A static language with type inference, duck typing, an ExpandoObject that is bindable, and optional parameters (the last 2 directly available in .Net 4, of course) can be very friendly to developers who have no taste for learning unneeded complexity

Well said. And time saving while reading.
