That doesn't even make sense. Both C# and Java (and JVM, CLR languages) will be used in new billion generating applications in the next 10 years and more.

If you're still using C# or java in 10 years time for a commercial app, the only reason you will not be at a competitive disadvantage is because all the other competitors in your space are using the same languages.
