Linux

@FooBarrington You didn't just specify memory safe, you advocated stripping away a number of features. Yes memory safe anything is a good idea and I've got no objection to the use of rust, I think it's a good language, one of the few worthwhile efforts to emerge in recent years, but if it is going go be re-implemented, do so fully. Yes, anything that runs with privileges should be memory safe else it's open to attack and Rust certainly makes that more possible, I am just concerned about the limiting feature set aspect. I'm not in favor of protecting users from themselves, I don't want a car that is capable of reading speed limit signs and prevents me from exceeding them even if doing so might be unsafe or illegal, that not the car manufacturers job to be come an arm of the government, likewise I don't want Linux protecting me from myself, I already address potentials with regular backups, etc.
