microsoft already has massive developer mindshare, but unlike elixir/elm/node/flavor-of-the-month the mindshare exists with 9-5ers or dark matter devs. The kinds of people who use it to get shit done but don't spend time blogging about it.

Yes, but more is merrier. They have negligible presence in colleges, startups, big data... Also Web development outside enterprise is entirely linux. So they have lots of area for landgrab.

mindshare exists with 9-5ers

That just reads as if they have a much less enthusiastic community.

Now that you mention it, I think that's actually true. When some adapter needs to be written to connect one system to another, nobody is doing it because that's what they are passionate about (I'm starting to hate that phrase) or because they are scratching an itch. They are doing it because somebody will pay them to do it.
