This makes me wonder: imagine ten years from now, when Rust is a mature systems language (or some other language shooting for safety sans GC that arises in the meantime) and the open source community – tired of dragging around C/C++ security issues – decides to rally around an open source operating system all over again...what's more likely, that we'll just reimplement UNIX all over again for the umpteenth time (but in a safer systems language) or that we'll actually aspire to something better? My money is on the former.
