“I’d say that Rust is actually less safe than C, because in C, the language is all designed around writing unsafe code,” O’Brien said.

Memory Safe they said.

Memory Safe Languages are implemented in C , C++ and Assembly. Rust used LLVM which was written in C++ I believe. So to be safe we must be unsafe to be safe and be unsafe again to be useful.

It's crazy how savage Embedded Developers can be. It's as if they have more than a superficial understanding of what they are programming and what it is for.

Also the CISA page on Memory Safe Languages looks like they copied the FSF's DefectiveByDesign campaign. That's not very reassuring.
