I would not touch C# unless you are already using it. Microsoft proves over and over it cannot be trusted in what they say. Watch what they do:

- basically dont use ant UI framework they say is the future and they are not using themselves - be vary of the future of some of it stuff like C#

C# has been around a long enough time and Microsoft's teams over that time have done a pretty good job making upgrading each version easy.

As long as the current leadership in the C# & .NET teams remain, it's a very safe language and framework to use. They also deserve huge kudos to API & performance improvements the past decade since moving on from .NET Framework 4.x, which still runs fine.

They also have a lot of internal & external users using it.

Oh I learned this the hard way. Managed DirectX, XNA, Creators Club, Windows Store, shared profit motive, fair business practices, Project Natal/Kinect, Azure, and finally… .Net. Yup, Microsoft loves developers… loves their subscriptions.
