I like Visual Studio, and have used it for C++. And, yes, it would be great if they add native support for Rust. But that would not make me pick C++ over Rust. Other requirements may.

My reply was about Win32 and typical C++ development. Obviously other projects may be best written in C# or other languages and frameworks. Anyway, Microsoft is the one providing the Rust crate(s) I linked, and according to the releases it

Yeah, Win32 (Windows API) will be around for a long time one way or the other, and there is a ton of tooling and docs around it. Even for non-Windows usage it is to be considered in certain situations. > Don't be swayed by the propa

C++ may get pattern matching with P1371, which may make visiting look more reasonable: std::string_view print_type(const variant_type& jtt) { using namespace std::literals; return inpect (jtt) { <dou

To be fair, I was just a teenager back then and I was out of kernel development for quite a few years afterwards. But you are right, this is not coming from the Rust community itself. In fact, several independent groups have been thinking o
