I was saying that C# is the grandson of Pascal. Pascal begat Delphi,
Delphi + Java begat C#. So there are influences from C/C++/Java and
Pascal/Delphi in C#.
JavaScript is more like a bastard child of scheme with curly braces.
Though it has evolved into something incredibly flexible, powerful and
useful by nature of being the language of the browser.
