Why would I want to deal with MS on any other platform? I want nothing to do with that company out of principal and I hope we can do a equally harmful shut out of MS in the future, they deserve their own medicine.

No, into the trash it goes.

Because C# is a great language.

Sure. But when you are looking cross platform there are much better languages than C#.

IMO, not with anything approaching the install base/jobs/tooling/etc. of C#, and you get the ability to practically use F# when appropriate.

Also, how many big "enterprise" shops are doing interop between a C-Style language and an ML-style language? Probably not many, and almost certainly more are doing it with C#/F# than anything else.

You can't win if you're not going to reward companies for good behavior.

But on the other hand, how many times are you going to put your hand on the stove and get burnt before you learn?

Because Microsoft keeps me employed and making money.
