What does "Rust-based" even mean? Inspired by Rust? Does it transpile to Rust or something? Very confusing phrasing to me...

#13Oh no, I bet it's gonna be a C# flavored Rust. None of Rust's terse syntax and functional influence. It's going to be full-blown Java-style OOP with plenty of Wnd handles to be thrown around. Yikes, I certainly hope I am not right.

#14This slideshow is pretty interesting (in particular slide 14): https://www.slideshare.net/KTNUK/digital-security-by-design-... Talks about sandboxing C/C++ libraries that interact with Rust. Kinda make a safe unsafe sandbox Rust interface ("less unsafe?") if I understand it correctly (I likely don't). The actual linked article is all over the place, I cannot make heads or tails of it and seems to be conflating multip…
Typical ZDNet.

It's probably what they did with C#, starting from Java. I don't think there will be any compatibility, only high level similarity.

I guess shipping Windows API cargo crates makes too much sense. Does anyone have any context for gaps in Rust they are addressing?
In TFA it mentions that ownership will be based on groups of objects, but I’m not sure I understand what this solves that a struct doesn’t.

That is not really a language issue, is it?
