Devices we worked with for a project (thankfully not on GCP) are welded shut once built. They are designed to run for years on an internal battery then need to be recycled. They would all be paperweights in this scenario!

I read it as "we will be adding features that make sense for VB (which might also make sense for C#), rather than keeping it in sync with C#".

Allowing it to evolve on it's own, rather than being C#'s ugly little brother.

That risks libraries becoming incompatible. 99% of the top libraries are in c#.

That's explicitly called out in the article: they will make sure libraries written in new versions of C# can be used easily in new versions of VB.

Overall, it was a positive experience and I think even with the current warts (in particular around tooling), it's a nicer stack than MVC5.

I blogged about some things we learned here: https://chad.tolkien.id.au/lessons-learnt-going-into-product...
