Microsoft: Rust is Tier-1, with rustc_codegen_utc on MSVC

Rust Foundation guest-post graphic for Microsoft Tier-1 Rust announcement
Rust Foundation
  • Rust Foundation guest post (Victor Ciura, 10 Sep): Rust now has Tier-1 internal engineering status at Microsoft alongside C++, C#, and TypeScript. Rust Foundation
  • Tier-1 means a paved path to production: secure toolchain builds, tooling, quality workflows, platform integration, and SDL compliance. Rust Foundation
  • Centerpiece: rustc_codegen_utc — a rustc backend wired to MSVC’s UTC codegen (peer to LLVM/GCC/Cranelift backends) for Windows ABI, hardening, Hotpatch, and Rust/C++ interop. Rust Foundation
Why it matters — Memory-safe systems code gets the same Windows-native paved path as C++ — a structural signal for firmware, drivers, and hybrid stacks.

Bending Spoons to buy Miro for $1.355B enterprise value

Illustration accompanying heise coverage of Bending Spoons acquiring Miro
heise online
  • Bending Spoons (NASDAQ: BSP) signed a definitive all-cash deal for Miro at $1.355B enterprise value (~$1.79B equity with Miro’s net cash). Bending Spoons IR
  • Certain Miro shareholders will reinvest $295M of proceeds into newly issued Bending Spoons equity. Bending Spoons IR
Why it matters — Another workplace unicorn lands with the Milan serial acquirer — at a deep discount to Miro’s 2022 peak — right after Airtable closed.

Forgejo 16.0.4 / 15.0.8: critical template RCE (CVE-2026-89094)

Summary card of an issue titled "Forgejo v15.0.8 and v16.0.4" in repository forgejo/security-announcements
Forgejo security #59
Why it matters — Self-hosted Git forges that accept template repos need this patch before the next “new repo from template” click.

Cognition launches SWE-2 coding model inside Devin

Introducing SWE-2: Pushing the Pareto Frontier
Cognition
  • Cognition blog (10 Sep): SWE-2 scores 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main — within ~1 pt of Fable 5.1 — while claiming 64% lower cost (vendor numbers). Cognition
  • Post-trained from Moonshot Kimi K3 (2.8T MoE); Cognition says RL added ~5–6 pts on many benches vs the base. Cognition
Why it matters — Another Devin-only coding model competing on the cost/perf frontier — useful if you already live in Devin, opaque if you wanted an API.
