Designing with IDE support in mind from the start is the right 
approach today, absolutely right. Could give them a faster pick 
up.

The syntax does not win me over, e.g. using "[attribute]" for 
disabling bounds checking is going to be confusing:

«int val = arr[[Unchecked]i];»

But ultimately its success will depend on delivering solutions 
that other languages don't provide.

If hot patching works out ok then they could create their own 
Flutter and given the C# likeness that could be more attractive 
than Dart, and appeal to a wider audience (could work for both 
portable mobile Games and Apps, and that would be... significant).
