Microsoft engineer clarifies post: No plans to drop C/C++ by 2030; Rust rewrite is research only

A Microsoft engineer has clarified that a project aiming to rewrite millions of lines of code using AI and Rust is purely research-focused, not a concrete plan to eliminate C/C++ from Windows by 2030. While the company is actively adopting Rust for its memory-safe benefits, this specific initiative remains experimental, not a roadmap for future Windows versions.
