> It's hard to tell which camp is more angry: the C# developers stating Microsoft is ditching its own ecosystem or the Rust developers unwilling to accept anything in this category not being written in Rust.
Is it really? I must be reading the wrong comments somehow. I've seen lots of Rust people express only brief and mild surprise: "Wait what? Oh, okay, that makes sense. Carry on." None of them are taking this as a death knell for Rust.
Meanwhile, the C# camp is erupting in a crisis of faith because Anders Hejlsberg has eaten something other than his own dogfood. They are outright grieving over this announcement with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
