Adobe would definitely profit from languages such as Rust. But they are not a "tech" company in the traditional sense anymore, I don't see them investing in anything that doesn't yield high short term returns. It's a big company that dominates the "creative" market, because it can impose its formats on an industry that does not care about open technologies.
- chenzhekl 10y agoRust isn't a cure-all for every security issue.
- azinman2 10y agoBut if you look at those CVEs, it is something that would prevent a majority of those issues. Use after free, boundary errors, etc.
- pjmlp 10y agoTrue, and there are lots of security exploits that are caused by logical error, but the majority of those CVEs are caused by memory corruption, use-after-free and out-of-bounds memory corruption. All errors avoidable in Rust, as well as other safe languages, outside unsafe blocks.
