If Anders Hejlsberg is not a part of this effort, then meh. If he is, then wow.

Hi, I'm the PM for Java at Microsoft. You can see this slide I presented at MS Ignite couple months ago: https://twitter.com/chanezon/status/1192140812718657536 Happy to point you to the presentation if you are interested. But in short, we use Java at some places like (there's probably more): - Azure runtimes for end-users (App Service, Functions) - Azure runtimes for other services (Azure HDInsight aka Big Data) - L…
Thanks Bruno! And I totally forgot about Minecraft!

I don't understand your concern. I think Mads Torgersen & co. are doing a wonderful job. We've had a new version of C# with each new (recent at least) release of Visual Studio. Did you have issues with the quality of new features? I'm really puzzled by your comment.
What I meant is that most of the recent C# additions are merely syntactic sugar that does not increase developer productivity in a significant way, does not boost the expressiveness of the language, sometimes even decreases the readability of the code. That's in contrast to things like generics and li q. Besides apart from C# there's also CLR and Jit that could use more love. It is well known that jvm is a better vm…
Apart from Borrow Checker which is a recent invention, all programming languages features, as far as I am concern has been done previously in one way or another. There is only so many language features you can fit in on a languages like C# which is soon to be 20 years old. It is a sign of maturity. And C# in itself is already very modern compared to Java.
Most of the JVM performance improvement came from many Enterprise customers absolutely pushing the limit to a point where performance of JVM today would be unthinkable 10 - 20 years ago. It is the work a hundreds of millions if not billions over the past two decade. And it is not like Microsoft are not doing research on how to speed it up.

Behave? J++ was Mike's ahead of sun, hence the lawsuit. Their jitter beat sun's
J++ had extensions that were not portable -- in clear violation of the binding license agreement that Microsoft would not add anything to the java.* or javax.* namespaces. Hence the lawsuit. Microsoft could have added any Microsoft or Windows goodies they wanted -- as long as they didn't try to make it appear that these extensions were part of the Java platform and would run anywhere. There's nothing wrong with Java…

Sorry I didn't clarify. You're right about the states reason and legal reason but in reality the problem was j++ bring better
