    Yep, Rust at best eliminates some already weak excuses to keep doing security critical parsing in the chainsaw-juggling traditon, when we've known better for 20+ years.

    I've been meaning for some time to write one of these (with auto-generation whereas I believe The Onion actually has staff write a new one each time they run this article) for password database loss. [Because if you use Security Keys this entire problem dissipates. Your "password database" is just a bunch of public data, stealing it is maybe mildly embarrassing but has no impact on your users and is of no value to the "thieves"] But a Rust one for memory unsafety would be good too.
