Seems interesting. Wonder whether this is going to further spark Rust adoption in the enterprise.

It's more likely that they see rust as a good successor to their legacy c++ code. Microsoft has always been heavily invested in C++ after all.

They don't want to sell rust. It's not a money maker for them.

The article is clear that this is about C# not C++. Is the romance for managed languages wearing off - I wonder what issues they are seeing.

Microsoft is big in C++, but they are also pushing C++ to be a lot safer. Modern C++ isn't as safe as rust, but it is still much safer than C or C++98.

Tail latency and memory usage?

It's hard for me to come up with any other big advantages that Rust has and C# couldn't easily lift.
