One of the C# devs said they dropped transactions because they were hard, language-impacting, and didn’t bring immediately achievable benefits to existing apps. All totally valid short-term reasons.

Nothing of that will matter if you keep your platform and your main game title Windows exclusives and ignore the most free platform there is. Microsoft will eventually lock down Windows 10 and then everybody is screwed. Game industry needs contingency plan.

I’m not sure why kernel transactions are needed for persistent memory. With PM, you want memory to act like disk, not vice versa, because of corruption recovery. We already have fast userspace database transactions. sqlite basically.

I know this is not directly related but at some parts of MS, they are still working on transactions outside databases like in Microsoft Orleans. while this is not the same thing, it means that they know it's useful.
