According to the US government, the world would be a better place if everything were written in:

„Rust, Go, C#, Java, Swift, Python, and JavaScript„

In the curl project, we should use all of them. Combine their strengths. Like in Damascus Steel.

@icing surely a 19 page PDF from the white house will magically just make things happen!
@bagder they are world famous for the quality of their infrastructure!
@icing the true irony is that i am working on a memory safety product which has C components because it is far more straightforward to write the components in C
@ariadne @icing pfft, surely twelve anonymous backseat driver persons on Mastodon know much better, and you should RIIR 😀
@ariadne That will surely be illegal soon!
@icing I'm waiting for a ban of 95% of all software in government agencies because they use the insecure (lib)curl under the hood!
@icing No Ada?
@aslakr or Cobol?
@icing I was referring to that Ada was specifically made for the United States Department of Defense

@aslakr Indeed. And especially for its safety features in mission critical systems: defense, space and aviation.

So, we‘ve been there before. RIIA, rewrite it in Ada.
