Security in programming starts from the programming language itself. The majority of CVEs we encounter are due to memory safety issues and I'm here to talk about how a language like Rust is the way forward in avoiding those. Rust is a great programming language. It is a developer favorite and is rapidly gaining a foothold outside of systems programming. It has the potential to become a great general-purpose language with little of the overhead of traditional high-level general-purpose languages. Rust is fast, safe, and sustainable. Today I'm going to take you through the strengths and weaknesses of Rust and why it will be a great general-purpose language. Beware, I'll be doing comparisons with your favorite languages.
