@Prayank Isn't it likely for NSA to hire those who know Bitcoin's code well and who can inentionally write use-after-free and buffer-overflow vulnerable code? Especially parsers. Who knows, maybe someone creates a script-address format proposal that needs parsing and unless the Core team writes it in Rust, it would be likely for them to add those backdoors unintentionally.

Both modern C++ and Rust make it easy to write code without buffer overflows or use-after-free bugs. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been any of those in the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Core source code (excluding dependencies like miniupnpc). I think focusing on those when being concerned about intentional damage are a distraction.

Will there be any benefits if we directly provide core source code development for bitcoin? I like Bitcoin very much and I hope to join this community and at the same time have income to subsidize my family.
