Nice choice! There is a _lot_ of investment in .NET at Microsoft. The move to open source and the community reaction to it has only made it more exciting and compelling for the company.

I get and appreciate the sentiment on "if Microsoft abandoned it tomorrow". Just clarifying that this risk is _very_ far from reality.

It's also really interesting to look at how Microsoft is approaching C#/Roslyn. One aspect of that is the C# 7 effort, which has an ambitious scope and has a great deal of open/public interaction. Check it out: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/2136
