      Thanks, lol. I hope they realize soon that Rust is not forced to be used. Also the US government didn’t even talk about Rust only, but memory safe languages and listed Rust as an example.

      As someone who learned Ada for a defense job years ago, I’ve been wondering how long it was going to take until I saw others comparing Rust to it, both in the sense of the language “safety” goals and the USG pushing for it.

      While the rust compiler is leagues better than any Ada compiler I ever had the misfortune of dealing with, the day to day pain that Rust incurs will probably always be a thorn in it’s side
