This type of comment is getting so old I wonder what can be done about it. Maybe the reason why we don't have "different things" is because users of these so called safe languages are too busy arguing online about how safe their programs are instead of actually writing anything worthwhile. Meanwhile operating systems will continue to be written primarily in C/C++ for the forseeable future

In case you check what I'm doing with my safe language you may be surprised. That's something new and worthwhile. Not an OS unfortunately, I would be happy to work on that but I can't live from that. > Meanwhile operating systems will continue to be written primarily in C/C++ for the forseeable future And we will continue reading about lifes ruined by bugs and people killed by exploits. There is no sustainable future with unsafe foundation.

    They do. At least some zero-days were used by some state actors to track, detain and kill people. Also I don't like Rust.

      I’d like to see some links showing remote exploits. Rust doesn’t protect against anything if the attacker has local access.
