Microsoft: We’re creating a new Rust-like programming language for secure coding
This link will be help :)
Microsoft can’t just throw away older Windows code(C or C++), but the company’s Project Verona aims to make older low-level components in Windows 10 more secure by integrating Mozilla-developed Rust.
Microsofte recently revealed that its trials with Rust over C and C++ to remove insecure code from Windows had hit its targets. The company has partially explained its security-related motives for experimenting with Rust, but hasn’t gone into much detail about the broader reasons for its move.
Microsoft recently revealed that the vast majority of bugs being discovered these days are memory safety flaws, which is also why Microsoft is looking at Rust to improve the situation. Rust was designed to allow developers to code without having to worry about this class of bug. (this mean Rust is good for prenventing memory safety flaws)
Memory safety is the term for coding frameworks that help protect memory space from being abused by malware. Project Verona at Microsoft is meant to progress the company’s work here to close off this attack vector. The other class of bugs Microsoft is working on to address relates to uninitialized memory in a way that also doesn’t kill performance.
MS project Verona will have a lot of influence on the development of windows, and it will be helpful to the development of rust.
I wonder why Microsoft doesn’t participate in rust open source. If Microsoft and other companies are involved in opensource development, it could be a better language than c or C ++.
But Microsofte will be made open souce “soon”(Verona), It is a new language for what Microsoft is calling “safe infrastructure programming”. (I think Rust+MS skill combined)
So the possibilities of developing rust or verona are endless, and I think it will be a better language to solve problems that existed in C and C ++.
