You also don't plan to touch Haskell, OCaml, async/await patterns, RX, given that they all have influence from Microsoft Research?

Interesting how you capitalise the word "Research" after Microsoft, you must be a fan

That's just pimping man
No, I am someone that is able to distinguish the cold harsh reality of the corporate world, and religious hate against companies.

Harsh reality of the corporate world sounds a bit self aggrandised, stop taking yourself so seriously :)

You offer a few examples of research developed my Microsoft but don't mention the destruction of an entire generation of innovation by deliberate barrier of entry by obfuscation and theft of intellectual property. The history of Microsoft is well known I don't need to recite what most people already know
I can provide examples of "destruction of an entire generation of innovation by deliberate barrier of entry by obfuscation", whatever that means, for almost any company in the IT landscape.
I don't know, should I start with Google, IBM, Oracle and Apple examples?

How much of that is a direct result of Microsoft setting the standard of bullying, stealing and legal threats to keep their monopoly and prevent small innovators disrupting?
Just like any other corporation starting with the ones I mentioned, money drives the world, not religious personification for and against companies.
