Is it time to retire C and C++ for Rust in new programs?

achieve guaranteed perfect type and memory safety in ISO C++Indeed, you could always write perfectly secure C and C++ code. It's just that it has never, ever been easy. Both languages make it much too easy to make memory errors. They include Invalid heap and stack memory access; memory leaks; mismatched memory allocation and deallocation; and uninitialized memory access.

These aren't just theoretical errors. They happen all the time. In 2019, Microsoft confessed that 70 percent of its Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures security problems had been caused by developers makingAs much as I like to make fun of Microsoft security, this problem is far from unique to Microsoft. Google's developers have found the same percentage of memory problems in its Chromium/Chrome web browser code.

That's why, years before Rust started making headlines, Google and Microsoft both started considering replacing C and C++ with Rust. Now Linux is embracing Rust as well.

No.

Anything to get security first and by design back into the Microsoft ecosystem via a refactor/re-engineer of core code through migration to Rust would be too much to dream of. It could really change their business too, let's see though I'm not confident they have the appetite.

No. The answer is no.

I would read a piece on Rust vs C for embedded (not “we have a Linux board” embedded, but “we have a Cortex M0 with 8K RAM” embedded). Because heap / garbage collection is rarely a thing there.
