πŸ¦€πŸͺŸ Really exciting to see that Microsoft is not only shipping Rust in the kernel, but also considers their use of Rust a major security feature worthy of being one of the highlights in their update announcement. ✨

@Mara Windows announcement in MacOS styled window that I'm seeing on my custom Android ROM while using Linux. What a time to be using a hardware...

@Mara

That does sound nice to have, but it's still only for the insider builds right? Rust isn't part of the official releases yet?

@rastilin @Mara I think they partially rewrote GDI in Rust a while ago and it's shipping already IIRC
@rastilin @Mara it will ship publicly as part of the 24H2 release
@Mara
"rust in the kernel" doesn't sound particularly reassuring for non-tech people.
@Mara interesting that performance is mentioned, probably indicating that it's more easy to achieve higher levels than less safe alternatives (for the same reliability)
