If it’s sandboxed why do I need rust?
What counts as a “safety mechanism”?
It's the "rule of two" safety guideline mentioned and linked to in the article:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/s...
If you use a safe language like Rust, you can afford untrusted input and no sandboxing.
If you use an unsafe language such as C++, you must chose between trusted inputs or sandboxing.
I was curious as to where rfgplk's implementation lay within the Venn diagram.
