Definitely agree about the ABI. In C# it's a pleasure to write libraries for others and use other libraries whereas in C++ it's almost always a pain.

Standard ABI only makes sense if you are targeting a single system (.NET for C#). That's not the case for C++.

It would definitely making interop between C# and C++ much easier. It would make interop between C++ and any language much easier. The only way to do it today is to extern "C" everything. It's ugly.

How would exactly an library compiled for 32 bit big endian POWER interoperate with a program written for 64 bit little endian ARM?
