#2Great to see C# still steadily moving forwards. Fantastic language, really only hampered by arbitrary limitations of the platform, and the knock-on effects of that (like the painful lack of ecosystem). I'm hoping it really starts to come into it's own in the next few years. At the very least, it could easily be an enterprise option that's actually both powerful and enjoyable.
Once upon a time, I remember C# vs Java being a meaningful comparison, but Oracle's total standstill has completely put an end to that (although I'm not actually sure who's fault that is - do Oracle deserve the blame for this?)

#4The use case is advertised as allowing you to port code to new devices. But the github repo says it only supports Ubuntu, OSX, and Windows. Lastly C++ isn't generally considered a portable language.
Frankly the idea of porting a C# runtime to a new platform sounds more exciting then debugging 10,000SLoC of machine generated C++ to a new arch.

Serious question. What search tool?

There isn't one on the site itself, but people frequently use this https://hn.algolia.com/

If they only use a limited subset of C++, it is a pretty portable language. If they use all bells and whistles the language has to offer, then it will be a nightmare.

Given how often this happens, maybe existing links should at least trigger a warning to the submitter?
