The cult of Rust developers just won't give up.

They are coming to steal your IP
I don't hate Rust. I just don't like everyone that think it's the solution to everything. My brother is on the Rust committee, I get it.

I am slightly biased because I spent over a decade writing C99 code that had to have 100% uptime. My point was just that it was written in Rust doesn't make it better. Carefully coded and audited code in any language is good.
Right, and likewise just because your code was written in C99 does not make it any better than assembly code that accomplished the same task, as long as it was written carefully and audited.
or G'd forbid Perl. Oh i can think of something worse, PHP.
