Please tell me that the referenced C# dialect used in Midori is available in some form for use, research or general learning? This would really make my week!!

Just scattered information.

You have Joe Duffy's blog entries about Midori and one entry back when it was still called M#.

Then there are the little pieces that came to C# from it.

Namely async/await, TPL, the MDIL compiler on Windows 8.x, the .NET Native compiler for UWP, the improved GC control in .NET 4.6 and the planned features for C# 7.1, 7.2 and 8.0 related to more mechanical sympathy.

Edit isn't allowed any longer, so here are some extra informations.
