it’s weird how often these same strawman arguments are the response when Rust’s safety advantage over C comes up. Usually the same adolescent tone too.

lol dude, I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been a software engineer for 30 years.

This is what a tryhard looks like, lol! You’re really twisting yourself around to “win” aren’t you?

Our team has reviewed this interaction, and cannot issue a refund at this time.

Also, get an Instant Pot. You can quickly make stock using pressure cooking, then can sauté onions/celery/garlic, then pressure cook dry beans without soaking (using your fresh stock), and then use the rice cooker mode to make perfect rice.

While you’re spouting nonsense, this is happening:

https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/11/redis-vulnerability-redishell/

The vulnerability exploits a 13-year-old UAF memory corruption bug in Redis, allowing a post-auth attacker to send a crafted Lua script to escape the default Lua sandbox and execute arbitrary native code. This grants full host access, enabling data theft, wiping, encryption, resource hijacking, and lateral movement within cloud environments.

13 years. That’s how long it took to find a critical safety vulnerability in one of the most popular C open source codebases, Redis. This is software that was expertly written by some of the best engineers in the world and yet, mistakes can still happen! It’s just that in C a “mistake” can often mean a memory-safety bug that would put user data at risk (…) That’s the nature of memory-safety bugs in C: they can hide in plain sight.

You care, you are the one that brought it up as an issue with rust.

I ask as a rhetorical question to shed light on the fact that compiler back doors are a vanishingly small fraction of total security exploits, while the memory bugs that rust specifically addresses make up the vast majority.

You’re encouraging prejudice through overgeneralization.

While there may be more Christians than other places, it is not the case that “people are Christian”. And Georgia, at least, votes 50/50 Democrat/republican (and 62% D last Tuesday).

how many compiler back doors have we seen versus use-after-free/stack overflow attacks?

The anti-Rust crowd baffles me. Maybe C++ has rotted their brain to the point they can’t “get” the borrow checker.

My only complaint is that its syntax is an ugly mishmash. Should have copied scala or f#

it’s just photoshopped on top of the background, you can Photoshop it off

Why did you blur out “shit”?
