As someone considering learning Rust, the article put me off fast with the long preamble to even explaining what the issue was. I really hope it's not that complicated, but even your rebuttal fills me with fear - "corrupted data [......] being modified by unrelated operations on stack". How would you explain that to put a C programmers mind at ease?
