Well, they're migrating (at least part of) the codebase to Rust, in a lot of places because of security. Make your own conclusion, I guess?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoThe claim was that it couldn't be done, as in not possible. Not that it's not a lot easier because of ground up design for concurrency in rust, maybe even an order or two of magnitude easier. However to claim it can't be done in C++ at all is silly. To claim it couldn't be done by the team working on it with the given time frame and resources is a legit claim however.
