> I'm not sure where they got that idea from. Maybe they've been reading propaganda. Maybe they fell prey to some confident asshole, and convinced themselves that Rust was the answer to their problems.

That's a very strong statement and I don't see any back up on this claim.

> At any rate, I now find myself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife, and a lot of compile errors.

Sounds like a layer 8 problem to me.

I already questioning everything in this blog post that comes after.

I didn't downvote you, but other people are because it seems you're misunderstanding what the author wrote.

For example, the "confident asshole" link goes to the author's own site. He's referring to himself as the "confident asshole". He's being tongue-in-cheek, funny, joking.

The "propaganda" is also a joke because, well, it's true that memory safety issues lead to security problems.

thanks a lot, that makes much more sense now! I'm just so used to "rage culture" and uninformed complaining that I tend to overreact.
