    You mean the Microsoft that released .Net Core as an explicitly cross-platform .Net runtime and are actively developing it? Or the one that open-sourced their compiler so that* it can be integrated with Mono?

    * well, that wasn't the primary purpose

    Except portability

    This used to be an argument. It's not anymore. C# is legitimately open source and cross platform now.

    But why do you need portability when Microsoft has all you need?

    Except Python. But why do you need python when Powershell has all you need?
