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.
