Re:Ask HN: Why do you use Rust, when D is available? by pjmlp on Saturday June 13, 2020 @04:02AM (#23507740)
> Industry really, really needed C-like language that was memory safe, and all-round good: both low and high level. And Rust quickly delivered that, borrowing all the great aspects of other languages and addressing a lot of problems.

Industry has had Ada since 1983, Modula-2 since 1980, Object Pascal since 1990, and a couple of other ones, not counting all those Algol and PL/I variants that precede C for about 10 years.

Unfortunely the industry will only take security seriouly when security exploits are severly punishable by law.
