Wired - The ‘Viral’ Secure Programming Language [Rust] That’s Taking over Tech
https://www.wired.com/story/rust-secure-programming-language-memory-safe/
Does anyone remember Cobol? Pascal? How about Prolog (the 5th gen language)? Standard ML? and now Rust.
Compilers are a dying technology. Stop Writing Dead Programs" by Jack Rusher (Strange Loop 2022) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ab3ArE8W3s&ab_channel=Stran... )
Meanwhile, the hardware world is moving to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), Neurocomputing, in-memory logic, dynamic soft-core processors, analog memory, etc.
What does Rust do with memory that self-modifies, or has no defined logic values, processors that dynamically add or remove instructions, etc.
What does Rust do with programs that self-modify?
How long will it be until C++ (2090?) adds borrow checking and Result handling?
What's so "Secure" about Rust? Does it handle row-hammer attacks? DMA overloads? Heartbleed?
Rust is reaching "peak hype".
Sigh.
