It's quite simple. I'm assuming that the new breed of Millennial coders coming out of College coding farms aren't going to fancy a language that was released in 2001 when something shiny, newer (released in 2010) & "totally kool" from Mozilla makes Rust an easy sell. This is just my speculation seeing how perception plays a big part in language adoption - unfortunately. Sad but true.
Ryan, here's an idea to push at Microsoft Senior Management....
Take VB 6 IDE and retool it to spit out Rust code -- everything! But for heavens sakes, THIS TIME, make it bloody cross platform like Delphi/Lazarus IDE.
Imagine being able to create fast GUI Rust apps that are efficient & safe? That would be fcuking kool!! Sooo, when can we expect Visual Rust? ;-)
