> To the point they did a blog post trying to defend their use of C,

I do a lot of Rust work, but C still occupies a prominent place in my toolkit.

In fact, this is fairly standard among all of the professionals I know. The idea that companies need to abandon C and only do Rust as soon as possible is more of an idealistic idea on internet communities.

Sure, but they should be honest about it instead of marketing Azure Sphere OS as an unbreakable castle, when it happens to be built in quick sand.

Additionally they could also allow for all GCC languages like Ada and C++, given it is the SDK toolchain, instead of being C only, if the security marketing from Azure Sphere is to be taken seriously.
