what exactly makes c# pike-like?
Hard to say really. What makes pike similar to java?
At a quick glance, C# looks a lot like C++ and pike. There are, however, not too subtle differences (e.g. in object initialization).
BUT, they sure do look a lot like each other and it isn't that hard to go from one language to another. I belive the biggest hurdle is that pike has a lot more syntactic sugar on top of it.

you'll need that.
I believe there is a pike-like language that runs on the mono JIT with excellent compiler and runtime support. It's called C#.
what exactly makes c# pike-like?
Why then try to turn a good language that has its niche and users into a half-baked copy of something else?
huh? which is the half-baked copy? and which is the good language?
Because the mountain (of work) is there?
99% of the people fight for 90% of the available work. i prefer to be with the 1% of people who can choose from 10% of the work that noone wants to do.
