I read that sentence as applying to security-critical software. i.e., I don't think the author would insist that Quake II be rewritten in Rust.

- ncmncm 5y agoQuake III appears to be C code. The argument for (automatically) rewriting C or nearly-C to Rust is stronger than for C++. Curiously, they seem to have found just one, inconsequential, memory usage error in the entire, large C program. This calls into question the frequently repeated assertion that there is no substantial and correct C code.
