I’m a bit late to sharing it here, but an article of mine was in the November issue of the ACM Queue! Called “Memory Safety for Skeptics,” it argues for why memory safety is worth pursuing amid competing priorities. It was a lot of fun to write, and is purposefully not an article about rewriting codebases in Rust. Check it out!
Folks at Google explain how to think about the move to memory safe languages: “the problem is new code.”
Not everything will be rewritten in Rust, so C++ must become safer, and we should all care about C++ becoming safer.
Amid the move to memory safe languages, the people who build and build on C and C++ ought to be recognized. Any of us could be hit by an upheaval of technology in which we’ve invested.
The systems we build are manifestations of our politics. So what is the philosophy of Rust and what does it offer for the state of software?
