Microsoft: We're creating a new Rust-based programming language for secure coding
-
Microsoft's Project Verona involves creating a new language for "safe infrastructure programming" to be open-sourced soon.
If only there was an existing language with Rust-like syntax, and Rust-like safety
*Kind* of a dupe from the Rust article yesterday, but with a different focus, and new information for people that didn't watch the presentation

Are they calling it Rust# ?

No. RustBucket. Where you dump all your *best* ideas.

Speaking as someone who sees great potential in Rust, this is extremely disappointing. Rather than create a new language, they should support the existing work and help it be a better choice for targetting Windows. You would think they would learn some lessons from their efforts C++/CLI, Managed C++, etc. Edit: Actually, it's not as bad as that - iit's ZDNet's fault for describing it as Rust-based. It isn't, it is just addressing similar areas and its a Microsoft Research project, which means it is being used for Research and isn't guaranteed any release.

Exactly, especially as Rust is MIT-licensed (one of the more open open-source licenses)

See the edit to the original comment - ZDNet's fault for misdescribing the project. There was initially a fair bit of criticism on r/rust thanks to this, but the researcher himself corrected the misapprehension. I'm glad to hear this because, as I said, you would think they would have learned their lesson from C++ variations. This is a research language, and is influenced by Rust among other languages. That's absolutely fair.

I imagine the final name for the product will be something that, as well as being in line with the "Rust" branding, also aligns with MS' general trend, over the past 13 years. "Decay" sounds pretty appropriate.
