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.
