"I love my new Samsung Gear 2 and am optimistic about the potential of Tizen to disrupt the smartphone and tablet market. I also know how ill-equipped many app developers are to develop in C++ if they're coming from a Java or C# background. Tizen does offer a very compliant HTML5 stack, but as Xamarin have demonstrated, the native app experience is usually better for end-users. I want to open up this space for C#, and am willing to pay for that to happen. "
