I absolutely agree. I agree that this is what's holding back adoption of new tooling the most. However, the impression that I get from our conversations is that a new C/C++ is seen as "more of the old thing" while rust is considered a break with the old thing, something new with substantial risk, but also substantial upsides. This perception helps when it comes to considering an adoption.
- cryptonector 3y agoWe need an industry-wide break with the old thing. There have been enough problems caused by crappy unmaintainable spaghetti code full of UB. Now, a new thing (Rust) doesn't mean you'll get better code in every way, but at least in some ways.
