Their attempt to do that was called C#. It failed. Not everything someone tries succeeds. For example, you tried to be smart there, whoops!
Talk about a "whoops", your brain is 100% brown matter if you think C# was ever intended to replace C++. Those two serve a very different purpose. C# is much more closely related to java and tries to serve the same niche. You're obviously not even aware of what the CLR is for.
I didn't start using C# until dotnet core, and I started using java soon after. C# feels like somebody put some actual thought into it. Java feels like an early alpha release of C#. Neither language is my daily driver -- that would be Rust. When I have to write something in C#, I think "well that sucks, but at least it's not java."
Unlike you, I have actual experience with all of these languages. I've been writing production code with all of them (except C++) for the last 6 years.
I don't really care for MS, but they've contributed a great deal to open source. Unlike you, I believe in giving credit where it's due, even if I don't care for the person or people behind it. Art and artist are not the same. That's why only you would get pleasure from nueralink failing its patients. Fortunately for them, it seems to be working well.
In any case, stay in your lane. If the topic is feces, then I'll defer to your decades of expertise in that.
