Oh my...

Does anyone remember Cobol? Pascal? How about Prolog (the 5th gen language)? Standard ML? and now Rust.

Compilers are a dying technology. Stop Writing Dead Programs" by Jack Rusher (Strange Loop 2022) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ab3ArE8W3s&ab_channel=Stran... )

Meanwhile, the hardware world is moving to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), Neurocomputing, in-memory logic, dynamic soft-core processors, analog memory, etc.

What does Rust do with memory that self-modifies, or has no defined logic values, processors that dynamically add or remove instructions, etc.

What does Rust do with programs that self-modify?

How long will it be until C++ (2090?) adds borrow checking and Result handling?

What's so "Secure" about Rust? Does it handle row-hammer attacks? DMA overloads? Heartbleed?

Rust is reaching "peak hype".

Sigh.
