I thought of this classic drill article: http://www.team.net/mjb/hawg.html http://www.team.net/mjb/hawg.html Not sure that is the Unix philosophy but definitely the attitude of many 90s C programmers. But also we want power and safety at the same time. A smart matter drill, if you will, that will dissolve when it hits flesh. Rust currently ushers a lot of thought about safety into the coding process, while with C you can start dangerously and then fix later with Valgrind/Purify etc. fun but bad results for OpenSSL or sudo or parsers in general.
