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.

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.
