So MSFT uses Rust. :) That's actually quite a newsworthy thing, could be a lot more newsworthy if we knew the purpose it was used for was some mission critical component that also needs to be blazing fast.
Looking at Rust's strengths, and that MSFT has languages/compilers of it's own, the use case is prolly "mission critical component that also needs to be blazing fast". But for now we're guessing.
