Microsoft is busy rewriting core Windows library code in memory-safe Rust

I can’t disagree more. I hesitate to hitch my cart to Rust, but rewriting all the old memory unsafe code is an inevitable need. This status quo of just patching things up every time an exploit appears is farcical when we have the tools to address these problems today.

I don't think it is so much about rewriting old code, rather new code is written in Rust.

I don't think it is so much about rewriting old or new code, rather code where security and stability are important is written in Rust.
