Microsoft Makes Rust a Tier-1 Internal Language Alongside C++, C# and TypeScript, With 100+ Repos Building on a New MSVC Backend
In a September 10 Rust Foundation guest post, Microsoft principal engineer Victor Ciura says tier-1 status gives Rust a supported path from local dev to production: secure toolchain builds, SDL compliance and deep platform integration. More than 100 Microsoft repos already build with rustc_codegen_utc, a new rustc backend that plugs into the MSVC (UTC) code generator so Rust and C++ share one Windows toolchain foundation. The Register corroborated the announcement on September 11. Ciura concedes C++ still dominates internally.
