Wouter raises an interesting point about many-language support. It doesn’t quite work with something as low-level as WebAssembly, but the original hope for .NET was to be a “skinnable language” framework to which any language could be compiled, interoperably with others.https://twitter.com/wvo/status/1084290688861102081 …

Thus the birth of Mono and then Xamarin for hosting C# code in C++ apps, but given the combination of uncertainty of whose .NET to use on what platform, interop friction, and licensing issues, momentum stalled and .NET didn’t become an evolutionary successor circumscribing C++.

It is my hope that once WebAssembly has GC support (and a few other features), it will be that "universal language VM" we've been hoping for but never materialized.

As a language c# is empirically better than c++

Have you guys thought about D? A compiled language with a lot of features, and you can even turn off its GC in order to gain even more performance. Also it play nice with C++.
