    This article is about C# though, which is also memory safe. At least from the article (which is only a few paragraphs that doesn’t say anything more than the headline) there is no indication that microsoft is working on C or C++. (though we know from other sources that Rust is in the kernel where there is C and C++)

      I personally assumed they were rewriting it from C# because C# is complete ass that got destroyed by Microsoft’s own insistence on feature creep. The language is a goddamn mess. That said, a ton of languages are a mess but they’re even more baked into shit than C#. Like, Javascript is a bad language, but it’ll probably always be around because…internet.
