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.

#12Link doesn’t work. What’s a Tier 1 language?
(Link worked for me ...)
This “Tier-1 language” engineering status for Rust means giving internal teams a paved path from local development to production: secure toolchain builds, productive developer tooling, quality workflows, deep platform integration, and compliance with the SDL requirements Microsoft software must meet.

#13I guess the big question is whether they are going to open up rustc_codegen_utc for use outside of Microsoft?

#14With 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.

#16Good 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-...

#17Site down, maybe they need port it to use Rust... They use wordpress
A lot of infrastructure is going to be ported to Rust.
It's fantastic for websites and servers, and LLMs are very good at generating it.
The primary downside of Rust is the long compile times, especially with macros (serde, etc.) If that can be fixed, it will be sublime.

Tier 1 is the summit of summits - the summum bonum of languages, the highest order to which a language can aspire. Very few ever attain it. Non multa, sed multum: not many, but only those of extraordinary quality. Most languages remain forever in Tier 3, never passing beyond its gates. Of these, scarcely 1% ascend to Tier 2. And from that already distinguished company, a mere 0.1% possess the refinement, depth, and excellence required to cross the final threshold into Tier 1.
Consider what that means: Tier 1 represents roughly the top 0.001% of languages. Pauci sed electi - few, but chosen. The crème de la crème. The aristocracy of languages. Primus inter pares, yet standing at the very edge of what programming language greatness can be.
Ad astra per aspera. Through hardship, to the stars. Tier 1 is not merely another rank: it is the ultima Thule, the farthest frontier, the crown, the apotheosis.

#19Is Microsoft still trying to embrace, extend, extinguish Netscape after all those years? :-)
