C# 3.0 has closures, expression trees, LINQ, and other features that make it much more expressive than Java in my mind.
If you think in terms of map, fold, and filter, you'll be right at home in C#/VB.NET (they're just called Select/Aggregate/Where instead to be familiar to people whose background is SQL and not functional programming). Java, on the other hand, is agonizing to me.
