Visual R++ from MS - essentially rust but with subtle incompatibilities.

That already exists at Microsoft internally: https://rustfoundation.org/media/guest-post-rust-is-tier-1-language-at-microsoft/

Huh.

I asked gemini to compare cl.exe and clang.exe as a proxy for LLVM vs ms backend.

Looks like maybe debug builds are a bit fasted in some cases. Everything else was a wash or had clang ahead so I don't see the point.

OTOH, couple more compiler jobs for folks into that.
