🦀 Rust will save Linux from AI, says Greg Kroah-Hartman // ZDNET

｢ Kroah-Hartman, who has "seen every single kernel security bug ever" since 2005, said the kernel team is now issuing "13 CVEs [Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures] a day, or something, something crazy." He thinks Rust is one of the few realistic ways to slash the class of bugs that come from C's traditional error-handling and resource-management pitfalls ｣

@jbz Yes, the hopium from someone in manifest denial. Silver bullets DON'T WORK... and Rust is far from being that at all. Also, LWN much? It's a source of intellectual rage bait on par with LinkedIn really. No one is suggesting for a moment that C/C++ are perfect, but this particular rhetoric vector seems to exist in manifest denial of C23 and C++26's improvements.
