Yeah because the way you said it is extremely dick-ish and sounds like someone trying to push their preferred language onto others.

    I literally only talked about Rust when someone else mentioned it, because I'm not specifically talking about Rust.

    Whereas yes, Rust is relevant to the Linux kernel for obvious reasons (matching C's speed and being easily interoperable with it), I said "a modern language" because I'm talking generally about the use of old, unsafe languages and major exploits surrounding problems that modern languages fix cropping up every 5 seconds.

    I'm not going to police my own tone about what are clearly negligent engineering practices. SWE should be treated with the same level of scrutiny as other engineering fields when its poor, outdated practices are constantly causing accelerating worldwide damage.
