From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How is C more secure than Rust? Doesn't it lack features such as safe memory handling?

In that talk he called C “the worst language” and said he chose it to troll the industry. How does that support your point?

He also said that you should choose “least privilege” whenever possible. That is precisely the value that Rust brings over C. So how does that talk support the idea that C is more secure than Rust?

I think you misunderstood or.. don't get the point "worst language" part from what he said. My point come from his point who's more expert. If you think like that, what can I say? and I'm not trying convience you to understand too..

Back to your knowledge and understanding. But at least for me, I agree with him that rust is 'hype-like' or 'pop culture' thing. Like cyrpto (he said in ask session), but from technical perspective, that I personally understand. I just lost the source to explain this, but it's up to you..
