Yes! Now it's time for us to generate a whole new broken infrastructure! I'm sure if we just rewrite all the Internet's crypto in Rust, everything will be great 10 years from now. No way will a radically different new transport cryptosystem grant researchers 100 new bugs to play with; after all, we'll have option types.

You're right to mock the attitude people have that the only thing wrong with OpenSSL is the language it's written in, but memory unsafety has nevertheless been a factor in many security flaws.

I'm no security expert but I guess there could be ways to keep TLS as a protocol more or less unchanged while fixing the obviously broken stuff surrounding it.
