Re: Let's see Microsoft take the lead
Very well. Let me adjust my comment. All new parts of forthcoming Windows OS should be written in Rust. I think that should be clear, because obviously MS do not rewrite XP or W7 anyway. The point about new drivers also holds.
It's all well and good for Russinovich to make a tweet. So what? If there is a C or C++ programmer, are they supposed to down tools to learn rust before they write new code? That's easy for somebody else to say.
As I wrote, rust is a disruptive programming language. Let Microsoft take the lead. Let them go through the disruption first. Russinovich has a voice at MS. If he is unable to convince MS then why should I be convinced?
