TRWTF is burying the lede:
Samsung is already a member of the .NET Foundation, and has .NET news today too: The company is releasing a preview of Visual Studio Tools for Tizen, allowing developers to build .NET applications for Samsung's non-Android smart devices, such as TVs, wearables, and Internet of Things gizmos.

@boomzilla Now that's interesting.
For the past year and a half or so, I've been working on the .NET Foundation's CoreCLR efforts, trying to get an Android build. The first step for that is to get a working CLR on ARM32, and several Korean engineers from Samsung have been invaluable in helping get things stable.
Just yesterday, one of them posted this update, showing all applicable tests passing. But when I asked one of them if they're interested in Android support, they said that Samsung is actually doing this for non-Android support on ARM devices.
I guess now we have the rest of the story.

I'll direct your attention to another @fbmac thread:

Yeah, I saw that, and even made a couple posts in it. But this is the frist I've heard of "Visual Studio Tools for Tizen" etc.

@masonwheeler I'm just here to connect the dots for y'all...
