White House: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe - eviltoast

On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).

On the other hand, when weighing one’s feelings against the common good, I guess it’s not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?

    Oh, well of course that’s fine. The government is talking about software that is used for important systems. No hacker will even know about your personal side project.
