Azure IoT Edge: Microsoft’s 60k LOC open source Rust code base

At least some system parts are written in Go, like TCP/IP stack, file system mounting utilities and a few other drivers.

Also thankfully they are at least making use of modern C++ instead of C.

While not as safe as Rust, definitely better than plain C.

I see you're pointing a shotgun against your feet. Here, have this AR-15 with a safety-switch instead.

Agreed, but I also came to accept these things change quite slowly, when taking into account existing code, habits and beliefs.

Indeed, and several components are actually written in Rust, including the "recovery netstack" (whatever that is): https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/c/garnet/+/165955
