   It's just very frustrating that we can't have any conversation at all about memory security without these sarcastic and overemotional men* saying, "Oh so you think we should replace every existing line of code with Rust next week? Delusional!"

   We're living in the "We should improve society somewhat" comic.

     Why is every single conversation about memory-safety like this?!

     This article starts with "Does anyone want to tell Linus Torvalds? No? I didn't think so"

     But, as the article itself points out, Torvalds does encourage the use of #RustLang in the #Linux kernel.

     Then it goes on to argue at length against swiftly overhauling all memory-unsafe codebases, which, for the billionth time, no one is advocating for. #CISA is only recommending making a long-term roadmap.
