Exactly, and that has nothing at all to do with the position posted by Microsoft in terms of this thread.

Where did I write that anything was wrong with it? I was referring to the original comment, which speculates wildly based on nothing and its mother.

Doubtful. These are entirely different parts of the toolchain, and the goals (while similar in wording) are entirely different from each other.

Nothing about this comment, short of your preference of C# over languages (and non-languages) you don't have any experience with, makes any sense at all. It's wild speculation based on a StackExchange question speculating on something that isn't even implied by a linked job listing.

Microsoft has not, nor will they, come to the conclusion that the CLR was a failed experiment.

As for the actual job listing, it has precious little consequence for anything or anyone, save for possible application speedups for certain use cases on certain architectures a few years down the road.
