I was originally thinking of this being a community thing as well, which is why I made this post, to see if anyone else wanted this as well.

Does this mean that the WPILib will be written in C++11, or just that the C++ runtime library (such as libstdc++) and setup on roboRIO has just been made a little safer because it runs in user-space?

My first thoughts of C# language features to use was C#'s event system, lambda methods (which do exist in C++11 and Java 8), asynchronous abilities (async/await). I was looking at using Reactive Extensions (Rx) as a possible library that I would utilize.

Being able to utilize the JVM's ability to run multiple languages (Java, Scala, Clojure, etc.) is something I would love to see.
