"Here's Daniel a guy who struggle to keep his open source project used by millions working in very important big tech projects. Despite the fact that big companies use its project, he mostly get funded by ordinary people who can pay a few bucks" "But Daniels destiny is about to change, a ORG that funnels capital from big tech companies to make software more secure is about to give him a grant" "Here Daniel, we have a grant so you can fix your security bugs" "Oh great, now i can invest in more unit test and have people to fix them.. and.. " "But you will only receive the money if you or someone we pay for write those parts in Rust" While Daniel is being payed, this is not actually/only focusing on security as an end goal, but is using security as a pitch to rewrite popular software in Rust which in the end will probably have more bugs giving the older software were much more battle tested.. So we have people with foot on big tech collect money through an org to rewrite software in Rust and not to ACTUALLY help the people doing software with very low resources to fix their software. Daniel is saying he will still keep doing it in C. So why do this org tried this approach giving i bet whatever you want that this money invested for them to focus on security even in C would make it have less bugs, because the real problem here is economics and less the language. Its a pity that an ORG is being used as a facade to create implants of Rust in popular projects, instead of helping out open source developers with money that would probably reach them if they did not act as the middle man to those important projects. See their goals here, is not even about security as a whole, but memory safety, and while they cite other languages, this is clearly biased towards Rust. https://www.memorysafety.org/docs/memory-safety/ https://www.memorysafety.org/docs/memory-safety/ Please dear ORG take the money from big tech, invest part of it for new projects in Rust if you wish, but really help the open source maintainers to fix their security bugs in the technology they use. Note that you are receiving this money using their projects to receive the grants. Really help them make their software more secure. If you are really into the Rust hype, so create a fork in Rust, show that you were right.. or at least be open when collect the money to invest what your real goals. But its a pitty, a project like OpenSSL for instance wont see a dime of this money. So sorry if i dont feel happy about this..
