""My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030. Our strategy is to combine AI and algorithms to rewrite Microsoft's largest codebases" and to "evolve and augment our infrastructure to enable translating Microsoft's largest C and C++ systems to Rust.""
""Windows is not being rewritten in Rust with AI.""
""It's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ and use Rust ... For the sake of security and reliability. The industry should declare those languages as deprecated.""
Galen Hunt set a goal to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030 and to combine AI and algorithms to rewrite the largest codebases and translate major C/C++ systems to Rust. Microsoft leadership reports that roughly 20–30% of company code is already produced by software. Mark Russinovich recommended stopping new C/C++ projects in favor of Rust for security and reliability. Linux maintainers and Linus Torvalds are adopting AI for maintenance and expanding Rust usage. Both ecosystems are expanding Rust and AI adoption, but full Rust migration is not imminent.
