That seems pretty harsh. How do new frontend frameworks, GPU shaders or another article about how great Rust is (which it is) help fight climate change or child starvation?

Since the migration from setuptools -> poetry -> uv -> full Rust, I think my computer burns up less energy (not to mention all the CI/CD pipelines) from running slow tools over and over. So that's a win for Rust there.

The point they were making sarcastically is that this, doesn’t.

They just took undefined behaviour and called it unsafe. Theyve not really solved anything. Even their own std lib has security bugs in unsafe code.

And their only ever retort is "there are thousands of these bugs a day in c code"... Let's wait until rust gets used seriously in the systems and embedded space first, no point comparing c to minnows like rust when it comes to total cves.
