Chromium is a *way* legacy codebase, I think WebKit goes back to like Konqueror or something? Chromium is a very weird example to cite for modern C++ vs. modern Rust memory safety.

AFAIK avionics software is still largely written in Ada, because it won't let you fuck up meters vs feet type stuff. And if someone said: "Rust has a slam-dunk niche: we're going to crank static analysis past helpful to downright intrusive because sshd simply can't buffer overflow", I'd be like, yeah, ok.

But at the time I stopped using it, Alacritty couldn't handle meta keys on Big Sur, and I wanted to fix that, so I spent a weekend or two that I really couldn't spare trying to unfuck it, but between `print` not being obvious (because someone had already borrowed the thing I wanted to print out) and the build being slower than C++ I timed out.
