If one more Rust worshipper posts about how a multi-year social engineering attack against xz was somehow C's fault... I am so very tired. And have zero interest in joining their cult.
(If xz had been a Rust project, would anyone have understood or examined its ecosystem in sufficient depth to root cause a minor performance regression? C is 50 years old and Elf ~30, both change VERY slowly and are explicitly designed to make the relationship between source and binary as obvious as possible.)
