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.
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.
No one said rust was invulnerable.
