Ask HN: Rust in Safety Critical Software?
I’ve seen a few space startups using rust. How can we justify using a language (in safety critical software) with no standard and no standards compliant compiler? Is the compiler tested? If so, what is it tested against? I get the feeling that it’s a hobby language that became a fad without any serious support. Who decides how to change the language and how it evolves?
