I think the big question is, whether two teams writing software on a fixed budget using Rust or C using modern tools and best practices would end up with a safer product. I think this is not clear at all.

- pcwalton 4y agoPeople have done just that with, for example, Firefox components and found that yes, Rust gives you a safer product.
- uecker 4y agoDo you have a pointer? I know they rewrote Firefox components, but I am not aware of a real study with a 1:1 comparison.
