Hopefully, Rust will facilitate this transfer.
- ArkyBeagle 13y agoThe discipline, as he said, to Not Be Stupid. There's still a floor on the error rate, but it's entirely possible to use these tools responsibly. I will believe Rust when I see it. We may, however, look at Lua. That might not sell, though. Lua is amazing but I'm not sure a culture is ready to bifurcate its code base like that. Given the complexity of all this, it's amazing we don't get a Heartbleed sized thing per week. The color and shape of this reminds me of when markets take a tumble because of a cascading failure - some poor schmoe ends up with a margin call and everybody sweats a lot for a while. At work, I do this: "Are you done?" "Yeah, but I don't trust it yet." They're really nice about this.
