Apparently Microsoft is considering switching to Rust instead of C or C++, because it apparently avoids many memory related bugs that plague C/C++ programs. Firefox switched or is switching since 2016.
I wonder if Linux at large will do a similar move. The kernel I doubt it.

If you consider this too offtopic, you can reply on the offtopic mail list.
Are those memory bugs due to compiler errors, or are they due to programmers too lazy to do things like checking for out-of-bounds memory references, or freeing up memory allocations once they are no longer needed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
