The article is most flawed because Microsoft has been using Rust for a long time already.
The MSRC article says:
>in a new blog series we will highlight Microsoft’s exploration of safer system programming languages, starting with Rust
so it appears the zdnet author misinterpreted this to mean it hasn't started using it yet.
As an example, https://github.com/Azure/iotedge https://github.com/Azure/iotedge had its first Rust code checked in in February 2018.
MS has also already been contributing to Rust and LLVM to get it working on Windows ARM32 and ARM64.

Like when Microsoft anounced project Athens for Go last year: https://hub.packtpub.com/microsoft-announces-project-athens-and-gophersource-for-the-go-community-at-gophercon/ https://hub.packtpub.com/microsoft-announces-project-athens-...
- Scuds 7y agoLol, yes this is ZDnet. There are several azure services running at least some Rust and job descriptions for IOT stuff have mentioned it for months.
