Everything they are doing in swift and Kotlin are within reach. Heck, those languages _copied_ a lot from C#, so it's the Original Gangster in terms of features. It's just that there's a lot of old baggage in there in terms of syntax and language defaults. Classes aren't sealed by default. Getting immutability requires lots of extra keywords, or you use `record`s, which are nice to use. I look at the new language features they're proposing, and it just feels like they are bending over backwards to add nice things because there's already so much there that they can't mess with. A clean slate would give them some freedom.
