Rust Is Tier-1 Language at Microsoft

Good news they adopted Rust as Tier-1 language. I hope their Weather app stop consuming more than 1GB RAM https://www.notebookcheck.net/Windows-11-s-built-in-Weather-...

If it is a tier-1 language why isn't it supported in Visual Studio?

This is very big news, all major OS vendors that also have a role in C and C++ language tooling, now have diversified their options in systems programming languages for greenfield development.

Additionally we finally get some public news about the MSVC integration rumors regarding Rust.

Is Microsoft still trying to embrace, extend, extinguish Netscape after all those years? :-)

Site down, maybe they need port it to use Rust...

They use wordpress

With certain rough edges like complex traits and Async aside, rust is an S-tier lang in several domains. Of interest:

  - Embedded
  - PC desktop applications
  - Computationally-intense scientific programming. (Chem, structural bio etc)
  - OSes, drivers etc
  - High-performance tasks in general. CPU, GPU, etc.

The big news here is they've replaced LLVM with MSVC's backend.

I guess the big question is whether they are going to open up rustc_codegen_utc for use outside of Microsoft?

So when will we get tier 1 debugging support in Visual Studio?

You gotta have balls or be receiving tons of money to publicly celebrate the sloppiest software company of the decade making your programming language Tier 1 internally.

does it mean there is a rust.net?

Link doesn’t work.

What’s a Tier 1 language?

This is great! Hope this trend will continue in the future; using a memory-safe language should be a top priority imo in context of the coming rogue AI swarms.
