⚡️ Rust keeps climbing: Microsoft just announced another internal tool rewritten in Rust to eliminate memory bugs.
Safe languages aren’t a fad — they’re the future.
Are you investing in memory safety?

Any #alternative recommendations to #cryptpad that are #OpenSource and written in a #MemorySafe language for #CollaborativeDocuments? :)

Yes-rs: A fast, memory-safe rewrite of the classic Unix yes command

Last week the Google Chrome Dev team announced that chrome is now using the rust library Skrifa instead of the C library FreeType for its Font processing: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/memory-safety-fonts #rustlang #memorysafe #security 🦀

I published #memorysafe example code for how to read a psp-like dual axis mini joystick with #embedded #rust: https://github.com/kpcyrd/rp2040-psp-joystick (with help from @marble)

🚀🎉 Behold, the latest in tech hipsterism: a "memory-safe" web server written in the *notoriously* obscure #Rust language! 🌱✨ It’s in #beta, naturally, because releasing a completed product would just be too mainstream. 🕶️🔧

"Another problem is that memory-safe languages may introduce performance slowdowns compared to C and C++"

An old myth Granni tells her grandchildren besides the fireplace. Everyone ready to change beliefs given new evidence should read the garbage collection handbook to understand why manual memory management isn't naturally faster.

"Memory safety vulnerabilities remain a pervasive threat to software security. At #Google we believe the path to eliminating this class of vulnerabilities at scale and building high-assurance software lies in Safe Coding, a #SecureByDesign approach that prioritizes transitioning to #memorySafe languages."

A #tale of #maladies installing the #MemorySafe #Rustlang #OperatingSystem #RedoxOS on #video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8iC8NVc7q8. I'm still not sure why some people will say some #technology is "not ready". All technology needs a little guidance. Some technology needs more than others. :)

#Grayjay, but it is #Google #Android only. We need a #Rustlang #MemorySafe #LocalFirst version that runs on #Linux and #RedoxOS.

Todays release of #PopOS Alpha with #CosmicDesktop has been benchmarked on https://everybytecounts.org. A gitlab issue is open for #AlpineLinux (https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16344). Hopefully this #MemorySafe #DesktopEnvironment might get packaged on a performant #Linux distribution. Maybe #RedoxOS, based on #Rustlang, will also get Cosmic? :)

The #OperatingSystem list on https://fullstackopensource.com/ has been updated. The #FreeSoftwareFoundation column has been removed from Operating Systems since #PureOS was the only option on the list unfortunately. #MemorySafe has been added to the columns in its place.

Voyager 1 written in memory unsafe assembly language and FORTRAN, without use of Rust or Category Theory, or reflection, or dependent data types even, seems to still be working.
