I can't tell if the OP is suggesting the bug they had was due to Rust, or if they adopted Rust for a safe language they once had a bug?

- lobster_johnson 8y agoThe latter. I think it's a sheepish admission that the bug (caused by unsafe C code) is a reason to prefer Rust's safety, which should help them prevent another one like it.
- StavrosK 8y agoIt is, the person presenting says so in the video.
- serioussecurity 8y agoThe cloudflare bug was a memory safety issue in C code, which is basically the whole point of trust
- MikkoFinell 8y agoHah, could you imagine, someone saying they found a bug in a piece of Rust code? I haven't read the HN terms of service, but I'm guessing they you'd get banned pretty quick for something as egregious as that.
