Reasonable people can disagree but I wouldn’t call that a baby step. Core windows libraries, the NT kernel all being rewritten in Rust. Not sure why 365 stuff is being rewritten from c# to rust but maybe there’s some kind of perf issues that Rust will help them with. But your bar is also too high. This stuff happens slowly and then all at once. The slow bit is making the infra changes and figuring out how to start the porting process so that other people can start to contribute in a way that’s a positive addition.
