this seems like a research project rather than a main line policy change:

"Just to clarify… Windows is NOT being rewritten in Rust with AI.

My team’s project is a research project. We are building tech to make migration from language to language possible."

Ofcourse the end goal remains the same: try to produce systems that can be maintained by a significantly reduced number of programmers/software engineers, which can only work if AGI was actually achieved in near future so that the senior coder gap produced by this approach can be filled by AGI coders. If not, I think we will enter an era of tech where first software engineering will first become highly undesirable (due to reduced number of entry level jobs) and then achieve a god-like status because there are not enough senior software engineers to support all the tech infrastructure build on AI coding agents which are not fully autonomous because they lack/can’t learn critical reasoning skills/software experience unlike entry level coders which can.
