As a user of VMs, I would value memory safety because hypervisor exploits are nasty and patching is higher risk.

- kreetx 2y agoNot disagreeing with you on the memory safety. It's just that the way "written in Rust" is used, it seems like a marketing gimmick to invite anyone who knows (or maybe wants to learn) Rust. Shows (IMO!) the weakness of the project rather than its seriousness.
- acdha 2y agoI haven’t observed people taking that as a learning opportunity as opposed to an expression of a modern version of an existing tool which emphasizes safety.
