The article is clear that this is about C# not C++. Is the romance for managed languages wearing off - I wonder what issues they are seeing.
Microsoft is big in C++, but they are also pushing C++ to be a lot safer. Modern C++ isn't as safe as rust, but it is still much safer than C or C++98.
Tail latency and memory usage?
It's hard for me to come up with any other big advantages that Rust has and C# couldn't easily lift.
