C# is similar to Java in that it's generally compiled down to byte 
code, and it sits somewhere between Java and C++ in terms of the 
implemented features a capabilities. Open Source C# compiler? Not that 
interested, but check out the mono project. If you're running Win32, 
BSD or OS X then you can also use MS' own Shared Source CLI (SSCLI) 
too. As for an IDE? Eclipse will probably support it at some point.

Cheers,

Simon
