For what it's worth, the word "Rust" doesn't actually appear in the "A call to action: ..." document. It does appear in the original NSA document, but not in the part of the text that Stroustrup quoted. Not sure if this was intentional or not, but if read carefully the Slashdot post does appear to be misquoting him.

- steveklabnik 4y agoRust certainly appears in at least one version of the paper; they even call it “RUST” through most of it.

- steveklabnik 4y agoOhh, you know what? There's two, similar papers. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p2759r0.pdf https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p27... This is the one that had a ton of discussion over the last few days. The one you linked from the /. article is much, much shorter, and has only Bjarne as the author, unlike the other, which has co-authors.
- arp242 4y agoThis is highly confusing; people are talking past each other because the document you're talking about and linked isn't linked in the /. article at all; it's not even linked in the PDF That /. links to. I never liked these crummy /. mini-writeups that may or may not be accurate.
