There's plenty of good content in this paper. FFI safety is a very important topic, and there are unique concerns with Rust FFI. Such a shame it devolves into unprofessional and inflammatory remarks. The authors could have put their names on the paper and gotten a decent credit if they could have kept their emotional responses to the topic out of it.

The problem I have with this article is it's pointing at a universal problem (FFI safety) and narrowing that to a rust problem. Yes, FFI is dangerous, that's true regardless of language (including C). FFI is inherently platform, language, and even compiler specific. It's super tricky to get right.
