Is the author's purported "wording" in the article from extensive coding experience in rust and c#, or any other language?

Or, did someone prod a journalist with little familiarity in programming theory, to write positive "spin" on Rust being explored by Microsoft? Is it even news for the world's largest software company (by market cap), to explore the use of emerging languages?

> the author's purported "wording"

I missed the part where whether the author used words and, if so, which words they were was a matter of controversy.

> “memory protections” is broader ...

That's the part you cited, and went on to imply the author might be referring to Rust's borrower checker. Nothing from the author's "wording" implies knowledge of Rust's memory protection techniques
