It's made by the same people.. so you can't quite say that!
But
1. Yes, it is very strongly inspired, because .NET is good
2. It has more feature (think sensor API for example)
3. It has less feature (can't even access the disk without begging through a OpenFileDialog first)
4. It's a C++ lover affair sadly.. (allegedly because it was needed for supporting multilanguage support (i.e. Javascript!)(and frankly, who thought this would be a good idea?)) and also to provide better UI tool to native developer (it's painful to develop the polish of XAML-WPF App in C++) I guess that's a win for them... (whoever they are?!  )
But mostly I am sad that Midori[^] is just gone!

The seldom-mentioned fifth 'bridge' designed to bring more apps to Microsoft's Windows 10 quietly debuted this week. See? Silverlight's not dead.

Ok, that's Sliverblight for WP8.1 covered; what about a porting tool for Silverblight in the browser?
Quote: The Mobilize.NET Silverlight bridge allows developers to convert Silverlight Windows Phone apps to Windows 10 Universal Windows apps and/or to HTML5 and JavaScript. According to the company's site, the bridging tool analyze an app's source code and converts the references either to Windows 10 application programming interfaces (APIs) or HTML5/JavaSript. "Either way you'll get native C# code with no runtimes," the company says.
Say what!?! Last time I checked HTML5/JavaScript wasn't anything like C#.  I'm guessing the author meant native windows runtime code (since for some perverse reason there is an HTML/javascript version of the metro API); not a leak of a web to C# bridge. Which's too bad, I'd've liked the latter.

Source will be available from January, and open to community contributions. I wonder if they'll accept a pull request to convert it to C#?

I wonder how many trolls will submit pull requests that consist of deleting the entire existing code base and replacing it with Google V8 or Mozilla Spidermonkey.

Everyone can do what they want... but for me... this and other similar are the reasons why I am delaying every time the decision of buying a smart whatsoever even more...

For what it's intended for, it is a rather interesting idea. And it looks like it may actually catch on, due to how little pain it is supposed to cause.
I know several diabetics, and the main reason they hate measuring glucose levels is the pain the needles can cause.

The idea is not bad... what I am afraid of is all what will be done in the background.
They will not only have access to your usage data of the internet, they will have access to your biometrics as well. Scary...
