sort of raises an interesting question. rust has memory safety, but it's still possible to write code that "isn't up to code." i wonder if maybe rust+1 will be the first language/environment/ecosystem that has application development security principles built in. that would mean, like, not just taking the compiler forward in terms of memory safety, but also codifying a set of principles, enforcing those that can be statically checked in the compiler with the compiler, and aggressive curation for a singular library archive (similar to how some internet library archives require unit tests or style, etc).
