>In the brave new Rust-powered software world, does your day-to-day computing experience change? It is materially better?

A simple example would be that heartbleed and dirty CoW would not have existed in a rust world.

Would Rust actually solve heartbleed? Most memory safe languages wouldn't have, because it wasn't using regular memory management, it was using a custom memory pool with custom array types that would refernce that pool.

Maybe in many other languages they would have had better alternatives than that implementation, but I'm pretty sure that their implementation could have compiled to valid Rust that would have had the same heartbleed bug.
