Who writes Rust?

The problem with trusting any tool to implement your safety is you have to trust that tool implicitly.

Java? Flash? PDF? Intel's ME(management engine)? Spectre/Meltdown?

It's easy to say Rust is safer. I'm sure it looks that way. But what's more dangerous, idiots writing in C/C++? Or the whole world jumping on Rust because of the promise of greatness?

Investigate, yes. But only time will tell if Rust can live up to its promise.

45+ years later, and C is STILL here.

Cobol, Pascal, Fortran, etc.? Time was not kind to them.
