Is there C# look-alike for Linux?

Question

Is there C# look-alike for Linux? What about a compiler?

Answer 1

You could actually use C# with Mono.

Answer 2

There is another language called Vala. It's not well known, but as you can see from the page, an interesting amount of projects have been produced already.

Answer 3

If you don't want to use Mono, I think Java may be your closest alternative.
