    I wondered if this was some kind of joke, but it’s not: PRESS RELEASE: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe | The White House


    Purely as an end user. If I am looking for a tool to accomplish a given task for which there are a bunch of choices, I will try rust or C first before trying the other options. I don’t know if it is inherent in either language or if the people who use them just tend to be better coders. As opposed to something like python where the barrier to entry is much lower.

    I love the rust spins on classic cli tools like ag (grep), fd (find) and eza/exa (ls). Though I couldn’t live without any of the originals either. They are just so mature and so well documented.

    Is it my imagination or is rust more MIT kind of vibe compared to GPL with C stuff?
