I've heard the joke many times, but I didn't expect that even programming would ever end up wanting to evolve to crabs.

I've been calling this out for forever now and have been repeatedly told that actually, competent devs with C are fine and the C software we use has been battle tested so it's largely secure.

And now we are seeing that was all untrue.

And how does Rust help? As far as I know, an integer overflow in Rust panics in debug but just wraps in release (a bad choice in my opinion). Would it help specifically in the code execution part of the exploit?
