This sounds suspiciously similar to Rust.

The tech report version of the OOPSLA paper Joe mentions, about a type system for side effect understanding, is here: https://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=170...

My thought exactly. Seems like they're just jumping on the same train.

No, but this is Microrust

It's completely not at all the same, but still familiar to rust programmers.

It's but built for the enterprise with advanced patented technology.

The yearly license fee will include responsive customer service.

Sounds great, but I'll wait to see some actual code before getting my hopes up.

C++ does not perform, is not a managed language, and has nothing to offer. What could he possibly be talking about?

I read this as MS once again getting it completely wrong. Seriously C++ solving managed languages performance and memory problems?

Physician, HEAL THY SELF.

You sure seem to be an expert on these things.

codingbinary, you are hell-banned (your comments are invisible to the vast majority of users).

Your comments aren't all "great", but they seem to be in good faith. I feel that a friendly reminder to strive to post substantive and relevant comments [1] would be a far more appropriate remedy than killing your account after your second comment.

well, if we only look at the language and the "recent" past then C# is both an Ecma and ISO standard.

yes, it's only one example among 1000s of opposite ones but things are changing even in Microsoft, very slowly, with lots of setbacks, but they are. They won't transform MS anytime soon and possibly ever but I see saner pockets emerging.
