>Of course, there's always performance left on the table when you write in a language like C# or Java (and even a little performance matters a lot when it comes to emulation), but the memory safety that C# can provide over C++ can save the developers a lot of debugging.

It really doesn't matter how much headache it saves you in debugging. The problem simply cannot be solved at the required level of performance if you use C#.

>When the project reaches significant compatibility, other emulators can take ideas from its code and port them to C/C++/Rust/assembly if they desire to do so.

The only legitimate use of this project is as a research bed for future emulators, so I agree with you there.
