#2Nice.
Now please make C# a first-class citizen in Android and start to migrate from Java to C#.

That would be dope! I'd kill to have WPF ported over too!

#4Tizen supporting .NET is the interesting thing in this article to me. If Microsoft got so far as getting UWP apps running on Tizen, Microsoft and Samsung could potentially offer a pretty compelling offering against Android.

What exactly would be the benefit of this?

No thanks. I like Java, and esp Java 8 just fine.

Windows Phone had UWP no? Where developers were concerned it didn't offer them anything compelling enough for that platform it seems. I think it would be even less so on Tizen even.

#9Now we're cooking.
The technical steering groups is currently formed out of: Microsoft, Red Hat (so input from the main Linux distro), JetBrains (input from the makers of great tools for developers), Unity (one of the leading game engine makers), Samsung (one of the leading mobile device makers) and now Google.
.NET should have a bright future. And hopefully this should push a few buttons over at Oracle HQ so that Java catches up faster to C#.

Tizen has other traits that might be more appealing, like the fact that it's open source. (And arguably, more open source than Android by far.) And if Samsung chose to start pushing Tizen phones over Android phones... bear in mind, Samsung is pretty much THE Android manufacturer, everyone else rides their coattails. Samsung is maybe the only company that can upset the apple cart as far as Google's concerned.
