I wouldn't say so:
```
...
While researching Rust, we found some issues that gave and continue to
give us pause. Some of these concerns include how to regulate the usage
of the “unsafe” superset of Rust at scale, lack of first-class
interoperability with C++, and interoperability with existing Microsoft
tooling.
...
But we’re excited about the possibilities. While there are many
questions still left to figure out about how Rust fits into the overall
Microsoft engineering story, we encourage others to join us in taking a
serious look at the language for their systems programming needs.
```
In fact they already have problem using Rust and they don't know how to
solve them. They just are excited.
