- Mountain_Skies 4y agoI look forward to seeing Rust# (or R# for maximum confusion).
- runevault 4y agoYeah. They are both writing code in Rust and also dabbling in creating a language of their own to see how that goes, not necessarily with the intent of releasing it, but at least exploring the space from first principles instead of being incumbered by Rust's decisions. I think the name started with V but I cannot find it right now with quick Googling.
- rascul 4y agoI believe you're thinking of Project Verona. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/project-verona/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/project-ver...
- runevault 4y agoThis is it, thank you for digging it up!
- darzu 4y agoI wouldn't put much stock in MSR languages until they get usage in other orgs. There's at least a dozen research languages in flight at a given point in time. They used to have this great site were you could interact with them all: https://web.archive.org/web/20180130101736/https://www.rise4fun.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180130101736/https://www.rise4...

- runevault 4y agoVerona is less interesting in the language that I expect to make it into the world sense and more they may learn things while exploring safety that can be applied by someone else. Rust does a lot of good with exploring the safety space, but I hope we don't simply let that be the end of any exploration of building safety into the language at a deep level.
- pjmlp 4y agoTo be fair, many modern C# features have started their life in MSR languages and eventually found their way to C#. It is also where F# started, although they seem not yet to know where to push it, or if it was a good idea to actually box it in VS 2010.
