I have tried coding in C# and I didn't see any advantages - you have to write a million curly brackets and end with ;

I have tried coding in C# and I didn't see any advantages - you have to write a million curly brackets and end with ;

Which is what nearly all programming languages do.
Also you can use pointers in C#.

Also #CodenStuff is it possible to use this with a C# project? I'm sure it is but haven't checked.
