Re: You cant engineer away buffer overflows without a cost

I laugh at rust because to do anything useful you need to be unsafe. Unsafe is used in such a blasé manner that there are more unknowns at the moment as to how secure it really is. Mind you the STL took 20 years to become useful and that was only thanks to boost. History never repeats, or so I tell myself before I go to sleep.
