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.

Why, oh why do people involved in IT training always seem to believe that they have to spend so much time (and their trainees' energy) in teaching the history of whatever sub-sub-field they're supposed to be teaching?
Say what is, not what was or what will be.
Trainees need to know What tools, etc. are available for them to use Now, and How to use them. Any other information is a waste of their time.

The bug allowed attackers to quietly steal account tokens, which websites and apps use to grant users access to their accounts without having them to constantly re-enter their passwords. "Written on the pages is the answer to a neverending story"
It's fixed, fortunately (assuming you're all patched up)

If you just bought a smart TV on Black Friday or plan to buy one for Cyber Monday tomorrow, the FBI wants you to know a few things. They don't have automatic access?

And I still can't buy JUST a TV/monitor.
Physical Power On/Off button
Basic physical, easily accessible, control buttons
NO TV tuner
No Ethernet
No smart card port
No chromecast/netflix/amazon/ other streaming service
No Wifi
Yes to image customisation (contrast/color/brightness...)
You know, make me a 43 inch monitor.

Quote: Mr Richards started the society after seeing the "same mistakes over and over again" and hoped he would find half a dozen people who felt the same way.
"I didn't find half a dozen people," he said on his website.
Well, he can't have looked very hard.
The APIHNA newsgroup (alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe) was still going strong, at that time, and was even one of my favourite haunts.
I never heard of this guy, though.
I still host The APIHNA World Dictionary[^] (the only English language reference you're guaranteed to never need) on my personal site.
(You can tell how long ago I built the template for those pages by the monitor size they're designed for.)

Microsoft has been recently experimenting with Rust to improve the safety of their software. "In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg."
"A very conservative estimate for Microsoft is each issue discovered in the field costs $150,000." Then if they keep issuing Windows patches as they have lately, they could go bankrupt in about a million patches?

What if you could manipulate the facial features of a historical figure, a politician, or a CEO realistically and convincingly using nothing but a webcam and an illustrated or photographic still image? I don't see this being used for awfulness. Not at all.
