I don't see Rust as commercially interesting for VSI.
Rust would be interesting for VSI if you wanted to rewrite
VMS Macro-32/Bliss/C to a memory safe language, but I don't
see that happen. Rust would be interesting for VMS device
drivers, but I don't think that is much of a market.
In end-user applications or platform products supporting
end-user applications, then there are lots of languages
that are more important than Rust. And end-user applications
and platform products supporting end-user applications is what
will help support the future of VMS. So from a revenue
preserving and growth perspective, then I think that
should be VSI's priority.
