The Rust Foundation is an independent non-profit organization to steward the Rust programming language and ecosystem, with a unique focus on supporting the set of maintainers that govern and develop the project.
I bet this won’t have an impact on memory safety and interop means C++ compilers have to be stricter about memory layout and reduce unspecified edge cases.
@onlinepersona@snaggen Indirectly it can. Recent studies showed that old code is very unlikely to have security issue. This means that if all new code can be in Rust, while keeping the old code in C++ will be much more secure that rewrite all C++ (because by definition rewrite have more bugs since its new code). So interoperability is both safer and cheaper.
