This was something that Microsoft did really well back in the Visual Studio days. That said Rust really raised the bar not just on tooling but the whole end-to-end experience and with cross-platform being table stakes now it really makes for a compelling choice.

Well, it is no surprise given their C++ investment, that Microsoft keeps briging more Rust like experience into Visual C++ then.

They are adopting Rust in some small spots like Azure Sphere, and Rust/WinRT, yet WinDev, XBox, Office, .NET (for the runtime), DirectX aren't getting rid of their C++ code anytime soon.

Rust experience is compeling if one doesn't need to rewrite the world, e.g. doing CUDA in C++ versus Rust.
