Windows has a new wormable vulnerability, with no patch
I'm an old asm/C/C++ programmer (retired) who wanted to learn Rust but didn't make the effort because of all the stories about how hard it was to deal with the borrow checker. Then I realized that for a programmer like me that was used to managing memory in my head, the borrow checker would be a piece of cake. I wrote my first program in it and it was not hard at all. I get it that JavaScript/Python etc... programmers who always had a garbage collector might have trouble.It was so nice to have the compiler catch several stupid errors for me. If I were King of the world I would decree that all new public facing software with real world consequences had to be written in Rust. I'm pretty sure I read that Microsoft is looking at Rust to mitigate some of these issues.Edit: added "new" to make it clear I don't mean rewriting everything in Rust.
