I have half a mind to start a framework and throw a conference all about using Rust to write the firmwares to intelligent extra-safe guns that refuse to fire without biometric and other extra super safety measures like distance from a registered bluetooth or wifi device, gps location, remote disable by police, etc.
Surely the Rust Foundation doesn't insist that guns be hackable and error prone by being written in java or c or anything but the most reliable language available?
(I don't own any guns, and if I did I would want it to be as dumb as a hammer not something controlled by software, so I'm neither gun-nut nor gun-control-nut, and this post is only serious about the point not the hypothetical used to illustrate the point.)
