How about "the safety aspects of rust have been" DWARFED by the absolute shitshow of platforms and PC hardware. If we have to redo everything to get the full benefit, we could do a damn sight better than just memory safety and race conditions.
Another bittwiddler++ language is just digging the hole deeper.
- tatersolid 9y agoI have to point out that the very name "C++" is a security vulnerability in said language. I learned to program in C, during the dawn of the Internet. Yes, the "I can do anything on the machine" power was fun. But when considering all C/C++ code is completely insecure by default, it really shouldn't be used to build anything new that processes untrusted input (which is just about everything). There are a few decades worth of mature alternatives that should be considered first, plus a few newcomers like Rust and golang.
