Take Java. Make it Windows only. Fix some mistakes. Tweak performance. Add a 
little functionality (e.g. operator overloading). That is C#.

Both are designed for GUI and web programming, so they don't fare well for 
massive concurrency, high-performance numerics or allocation-intensive 
algorithms (e.g. idiomatic functional programming).

If you're using a Unix, just fork the process and pass messages via a pipe.
