i don’t care about vulnerabilities. it is very annoying that everyone assumes that linux is only used for applications where security matters. plenty of devices using linux do not need to be secure and forcing rust onto the entire linux kernel community because of a vulnerability argument is stupid and will only make it harder for people to use linux in a project.
- dagmx 5y agoThis is just absurd. It's like arguing against seatbelts as a default in cars because you might sit in your driveway most of the time.
- LtdJorge 5y agoMost Linux installations are cloud servers. So yes, Linux really needs to be secure.
- b20000 5y agoi think that has changed over the past 20 years. linux is now everywhere and not just on servers in data centers. and this requirement is not a valid reason to force rust onto all device creators who choose linux.
