   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.
