But your picture of your car there shows quite a bit of rust; perhaps you didn't notice.

Could use new tires, too.

It's possible that you might find some use for this quote, possibly surprising given its pro-memory-safety context:

""We should also not shame people working with and sustaining existing C and C++ codebases, nor chide them to pursue rewrites in Rust."

@dougmerritt haha to be honest I was just shit posting I am literally going to learn rust.

But also yes - I do agree with what the article says, programming language pissing matches compete with editor pissing matches for the most annoying

Right.

Well, I was reading that for reasons, but that's not to say I think the Linux kernel should be rewritten in Rust.
