I 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/

  I 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...

    Verona 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.

    To 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.
