While I'm not sure whether you're serious ;), to be clear: what annoys me is they don't really understand why we are having "someone pwned your phone via a series of memory corruption bugs" daily.

Until those Rust evangelists managed to rewrite the world with Rust (and I promise you there still will be a lot of security bugs), we still have to fix our shit in a low-cost way and their evangelism does not help at all and is pure annoyance.

No, I understand it. I started out in vuln research and have been in defense for a decade. It's probably fair to even say I'm an expert on it.

I'm going to keep advocating for rust as one the highest ROIs for improving security.
