Boone? There are plenty of fan boys out there that are selling rust like AI, or in other words snake oil. Rust obviously has built in securities that C doesn’t have, but a shitty coder is a shitty coder and bad QC is bad QC. Now we’re seeing the reality of the consequences. Rust and/or other memory safe® languages are like the future, but hopefully more people are now seeing the cracks. Just look at cloudflare for a prime example.

I think the other takeaway here is that it was found in a section marked “unsafe”. At the very least, that’s a useful tool for the Devs to isolate potential problem areas. Comparing that to a pure C codebase where the problem could be anywhere.
