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(r) languages are like the future, but hopefully more people are now seeing the cracks. Just look at cloudflare for a prime example.
