"The OS maker has been looking for safer C and C++ alternatives for years."
And? What makes the current context so much different, to enable the change this time?
Certainly, now there are even more legacy apps than years ago, thus making the potential change even more difficult than it was already when they decided not to change.
What I find the most interesting in this article, however, is that apparently C# did not make it as a preferred language in the Microsoft ecosystem. Not even after all the billions thrown into its marketing. This makes me even more skeptical about alternatives.
