alt Hacker NewsDamn this person's obviously is so bitter towards Rust... I wonder why he's so obsessed with it?
I mean, if they really care about software correctness, I wonder why take a very discutibile position and say that "safety doesn't matter if you don't use the correct process". Yeah, I mean, having some guardrails is better than none, right? If they really cared about correctness, they would really strive to put all the possible guardrails in place, wouldn't they? Maybe they are bitter because their fav language is not as popular as the other?
But there are so many languages, I wonder why picking on Rust specifically.

the piece didn't really seem very targeted at Rust as much as it's targeted at projects claiming to be secure just because they're written in Rust

What makes you think that?

I did not see that. What did I miss?
from his about page: "I'm VP of Community at the Zig Software Foundation"
EDIT: doesn't really answer your question. Just reminds me of a good ol' flamewar.
I don't get it. Are we reading the same article? This article is so generic that it reads like vacuous truth to me. But I don't see their bitterness towards Rust (or anything, really. It's just vacuous.) from it. Is this person a famous anti-rust'er or something?
