> when Mozilla explores that space with a new language, it's the hottest thing since sliced bread

I'm all in for new languages that solve unsolved problems (or solve better problems other solved). When Rust came out, it was new and exciting. When Go came out, it was new and exciting. This one is new and plans to solve some problems Go and Rust already solved. It'll be exciting if it solves them better. Right now, we know nothing about it.

From the list in the blog post, the only problem M# (or whatever it's called in the end) solves other languages haven't already solved is what to do with all the C# developers we have out there. It's not a problem I am very excited about.
