Makes no sense. C# doesn't really compete neither with c++ or rust, it's a slower higher level memory managed language. Microsoft is using C++ as well as Rust same way how Google or Mozilla does - where it makes better fit and low level efficiency is important. Google also doesn't use C++/Rust/Carbon for the kind of projects where Microsoft is using C# - for such projects Google is using Java and Golang.

You are right about the usability and performance deficiencies of C# in comparison, but the idea isn't about C# being more performant, it's rather that Microsoft is pouring a lot more in C# not caring about the other languages tryna kill C++ which is the point of the meme 😂

It's not like Microsoft isn't doing their own low level language research. It appears they been trying to adopt Rust in some of their projects.
