CPython also has many vulnerabilities in python rather than C.
It's hilarious reading rust marketers talk about how people should use rust, and yet their software doesn't work as well. It has plenty of bugs.
Then they go on and on about issues which post modern C doesn't have. Guess what? C has a lot of tooling, and yes, it's been improving over the years too. CQual++ exists. AFL exists. QuickCheck exists.
Can your rust project from two years ago even compile? Does it have any users at all?
There's a formally proven C compiler. How's that LLVM swamp going you've built your castle on?
Rust brought a modern knife to a post modern gun fight -- and lost.
- steveklabnik 10y ago> Can your rust project from two years ago even compile? Post 1.0's release date, which is just short of two years, the vast, vast majority should, yes. We've had one or two soundness fixes in those times that would take a trivial amount of updating to do, but that only hit a very small part of the ecosystem.
- sanxiyn 10y ago> Can your Rust project from two years ago even compile? Eh, two years have not passed yet since Rust 1.0. But yes, it is likely that your Rust project today will compile just fine in 2019.
