Security is all or nothing. There are no in-between states.
If there&#x27;s something to get from all my posts, is that we need to learn to operate with the assumption of compromise in mind, plan for failures and learn to rebuild, <i>rapidly</i>. Rust simply solves the wrong problems.<p>For a language that certainly has the mindset, look at Erlang.
Unikernels and Erlang will do more for <i>actual</i> security than a million
monkeys cranking out perfectly safe Rust code.<p>&quot;Decreasing an attacker&#x27;s surface&quot; is pragmatically, bullshit. No competent attacker (and that doesn&#x27;t include just nation states these days) will be deterred by a decreased attack surface.
