That is interesting. It is also a bit telling that MS repr. 
raised two concerns:
- do we know what's going into the compiler?
- do we know what changes are going in?

If MS actually picks it up more than catering to customers... 
then maybe it will become another C#... Dunno. I don't think MS 
will pick it up, as I think they like to be in control.

I also found this discussion on the Rust forum about what holds 
Rust back interesting:
