Basically both projects achieved their goals, but Midori eventually was killed by management, even though they got an usable GUI desktop running with some core applications.

Some of their decisions influeced async/await design in C#, the AOT compilers to native code in WP 8.x and WP 10, some of the new features for C# 7 and others planned for future versions.

anybody knows if the scoped modifier is going to make it from m# into c#? that would be great...

Currently they are playing with Span<> and Memory<> at CoreFX Labs, which make use of IDisposable, so they could at least partially support it at library level.

As for scope M#/System C# style, I guess the door is still open for future C# versions.

I am really sorry about lack of details on page. I am working on it and soon add more detailed documentation.

Meanwhile You can try building it and play around with source.

according to the license headers in the source files I am not even allowed to copy the thing to my computer...

edit: ok, found the project license (bsd) but you really should update those headers...

Would be nice if there was an ISO or cloud-installable VM image available. I've distributed "live cd" VM ISO's via legal torrent sites, which is a little hassle to set up but will make it a lot easier for people to get involved.
