Five Eyes - Memory Safe Languages

Interesting read for C/C++devs. Nothing much in there that I've not come across before but what did catch my eye was a statement that they don't teach much in computer degree courses about the dangers of memory unsafe code. Really? Explains a lot. I would have thought if you are learning C, the memory unsafe aspects of C and how to mitigate those dangers, other than write in Rust, would be a big part of the course.

I've no plans to rewrite nwipe in rust any time soon, although I'm sure that would be an interesting project for somebody. I get the feeling it would littered with the 'unsafe' keyword as by it's nature it has to do some low level hardware related things, but I'm no rust programmer, so what do I know.
