How does that work if C and C++ aren't memory-safe? Mozilla introduced Rust years ago, yet Firefox remains primarily C++, with only about 3% of the codebase in Rust. By dismissing C and C++, one overlooks the fact that they are crucial for powering everyday systems such as elevators, automotive control units (ECUs, ADAS), medical devices, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and more. It IS naive to believe that “the entire industry is actively trying to move AWAY from C/C++.”. Cheers, Lanre.
