On the other hand, you can find Java everywhere, from smart card provessors
to big iron mainframes.
So it is a very good language to know to work besides game development.
C# is pretty much Windows only. Sure there is Mono, but it only implements a
subset of
.Net, which is fine if you can live with it.

It is like knowing C or C++ and using different libraries in each platform.
