This. I don’t really care about replacing Java or Python or Go with Rust (any perf difference might not be worth the extra effort), but evidence has been mounting for my entire career that we must leave C and C++ behind if we’re ever going to arrive at a platform that works reliably.
the worst part is that testing might give something that is reliable against non-malicious inputs, and then explode given malicious ones. actually, that's not the worst part. the worst part is when nothing seems to occur on a malicious input, but actually rce is occurring https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i....
