No. What is the likelihood of an attack on a desktop program via memory unsafety?
- lesuorac 1y agoReally high? What do you run your browser as?
- discreteevent 1y agoBrowser runs complex untrusted code from the internet. Most desktop programs don't do anything like that. The servo programmers were riding a motorbike. Using Rust for a desktop program would be more like wearing a crash helmet in a car.

- discreteevent 1y agoA desktop program is already in a locked house - your desktop - which I can't login to.
