Microsoft rewrote one, maybe two microservices as it was driven by a lead interested in using Rust and is rewriting parts of NT kernel (way more important).


It’s much more than that, even now they are continuously opening job postings with a focus on re-writing the 365 platform from C# to Rust.


It’s a bad habit to read too much into a single job posting.

(oh, I remember now, it’s the account traumatized by odata)


I’m not sure why you’re trying to make it seem like Microsoft isn’t rewriting the core of their 365 business products from C# to Rust, but you do you I guess.

As far as I’m aware I was never traumatised by OData. It’s true that I may have ranted about the sorry state of the public packages available outside of C# or Java. Not unwarranted criticism I think, but I wrote our own internal adaptation which now powers basically all our API clients for Typescript as a single shared no-dependency library.

But you seem to think you know me? Have we met?


Alright, if not for that one job posting, I’m curious where you are getting this information from?
