I'd venture to say C# also has an astounding amount of libraries (at 
least, on the Windows platform ...) the base library for .NET is pretty 
extensive, though not without limitations, but those can easily be 
worked around. I don't know whether the base libraries for Mono are as 
plentiful, as I only have very limited experience with Mono.

The drawback? It's not viewed as a high performance language.
