Yes, but Java never claimed to be multi-platform.

I agree with the author that C# is not a very good multi-language tool, and 
may tempt authors to sacrifice features to make their language "play" with 
C#.

If you are writing a new language you should also have a different library 
that uses your language!

In Java there is no temptation to use the Java cross-language features, as 
they are not there.
