Eliminate them all

A Microsoft distinguished engineer posted on LinkedIn about eliminating all C/C++ code from Microsoft by 2030, claiming one engineer could rewrite 1 million lines per month using AI and algorithms. The post sparked controversy when he later clarified Windows wasn't included in this plan, despite the original statement saying 'every line.' The commentary criticizes the feasibility of such rapid rewrites, noting C++ and Rust solve problems differently, and questions Microsoft's ability to maintain Windows stability given recent update issues.
