    I don’t get why we’re taking a swing at Linus here. The article only mentions him in relation to the rust for Linux project being slow going. But, it IS going and the US government has only stated that “you need a plan to move to a memory safe language by 2025 or you might be liable if something bad happens as a result of the classics (use after free/double free/buffer overflow/etc.)” but I don’t think Linux would count it’s free software and it does have a plan.

    If only it were that easy to snap your fingers and magically transform your code base from C to Rust. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

    How utterly disingenuous. That’s not what the CISA recommendation says, at all.
