#2How much support does Microsoft give to the Rust Foundation (financial and otherwise)?
Does Visual Studio (not VS Code) support Rust programming?
Are there plans for an official Rust SDK for Azure? https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust

They're a founding member - no idea as to the amount of financial support that Microsoft provides to the Rust Foundation....

Per their membership page, Platinum members provide $300k/year - but of course the real value is paying MSFT employees to work on Rust projects.

#6I think this title could be misinterpreted.
There is a difference between Mark Russinovich saying this, as a personal opinion, and Mark Russinovich, Azure CTO, saying this as a company policy/directive.
This tweet does not indicate that it's from him in his official capacity as Azure CTO.

#7This guy is the bonafide hero behind sysinternals.
Mark, if you read this, please start with porting Sysmon to Rust. A Microsoft supported doc on how to use Rust when developing using the DDK would be amazing as well.
Sysmon on Linux uses ebpf, would be a selling point if it was also written in Rust.

Scientific / numerical computations? GPU / CUDA programming? Machine learning? Natural language processing?

He is the CTO. If he advocates for Rust this much in his personal life, he will advocate it at work. Because he truly believes it will make things better.
Azure will inevitably use Rust more.
