Aw, they will, for the individual. Not for "tech", because that provides jobs.

The diagram at the top is the worst tease I've ever seen! If the article covered all that, it should be a great read. But it stops after a few simple examples. I hope that sequels covering the other topics are in the works.

C# 9 gives you a better way to create value objects and some simpler code to use while doing it. But even if you don't care about value objects, the new keyword has some cool changes. Don't we all value simpler code?

Good for him. I reckon a lot of people (including people in corporate environments with some money to spend) will be pleased to see this.
I can see the same sort of thing being needed for VB(.NET) soon too. In a way it already is.
VB.NET is already falling behind C# features due to Microsoft's odd dislike of and disinterest in VB. One feature are local routines which C# has but VB does not. Why doesn't VB have them? Apparently because they aren't seen as useful in VB by the Microsofties in charge. What a bizarre idea. If they are using in C# then they'd be useful in VB.
I've mooted trying to write a VB-to-C# convertor. This is not as difficult as it sounds, especially as the C# and VB compilers are open source now. It wouldn't be compiling VB direct to IL but the parser code would be useful as a base to be able to reliably parse VB (including LINQ and XML literals). Outputting C# is really not difficult from what I can see.
This would also give the software the ability to add new features to this new-VB in an upwardly compatible manner to more closely match some of C#'s recent additions.
The biggest effort would not be the VB-to-C# transpiler itself but would be building a VS addon to support editing the new-VB from within VS and automating new-VB-to-C#-to-IL transpile/compile process, as well as debugging.
Economic sustainability is the question. Would there be a paying market for it? Carles Royan thinks so with RAD Basic and he has designed what looks to me like a sustainable licensing scheme with open source entry points.

It's not odd in the sense that VB is heavily maligned by masses of MS-centric developers and others. So Microsoft is probably reacting to that, to an extent. Didn't they recently say it was the end of the road for VB or something?
Personally, although I prefer C#, I've also done a lot of both VB Classic and .NET. I don't really get the hate. There's much worse stuff out there!
