Don’t believe everything you read. Any communication from them is a PR exercise.
On the other hand, I read an interesting substack blog from an ex-Azure employee the other day: the Russinovich-dictated Rust rewrite was allegedly vaporware for a long time and caused lots of headaches that were not widely known. A highlight for me was the use of over 1000 third party crates in their products.
Would be interesting to know how it’s going nowadays.
As any company, the one I work for also has its decent share of rustafarians. The Rust penetration is modest and slow, but the PR is remarkable.
