New Ghostscript PDF interpreter
Given the mention of security issues in their custom PostScript extensions, and that PDF files are often malformed, I wonder why they chose C as the language for the new interpreter. I don't want to write a typical HN comment (cough use Rust for everything :)) but surely there is _some_ better language for entirely new development of a secure and fast parser in 2022.The post has no explananation of this choice. Does anyone know?
