It's easy to hate on LLM slop code but it seems that using it for analysis only could give a C codebase a much stronger security posture. Running fable and friends could give rust-like security with C portability and familiarity.

“A complete derail” is doing some heavy lifting there.
This is a wide ranging discussion board, not the OpenBSD forums. That shit is fair game even if you don’t like it.
(It’s annoying, sure - because dev tribalism is the most played out thing in this industry - but overall the topic can be an interesting discussion point)

there's plenty of Rust posts to talk about Rust.
I come to an OpenBSD post to talk about OpenBSD. Rust isn't even really tangentially related.
It was basically a complete derail to backdoor in a conversation about why they think everything should be in Rust.
OpenBSD still uses CVS, C and Make because that's what works for them. They will continue to keep using C, Make and CVS but that enables them to be productive with the contributors that they have. Moving things to other languages will not increase their productivity. That's the biggest thing that the largely-fanatical Rust evangelists completely fail to understand.
