OpenSilver looks like a fun effort. I wonder, though, if it's commercially viable (just out of curiosity.)
Wikipedia [1] says:
> In July of 2015 a Microsoft blog post finally clarified matters: "...we encourage companies that are using Silverlight for media to begin the transition to DASH/MSE/CENC/EME based designs". Microsoft plans to terminate Silverlight support on October 12, 2021.
How widespread is adoption of Silverlight? Could OpenSilver become someone's bread & butter by 12 Oct 2021?

Fun fact: in 2008 it was announced that Silverlight would be available for Nokia's Series40 phones and Series60 (SymbianOS) smartphones.[0] In 2010 (ten years ago from now!) it finally released for Symbian 9.x.[1,2] [0] https://web.archive.org/web/20130615150307/http://blog.anta.net/2008/03/04/nokia-to-enable-silverlight/ https://web.archive.org/web/20130615150307/http://blog.anta....
