Rust

Rust is growing in popularity. Its unique security model promises memory safety and concurrency safety, while providing the performance of C/C++. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), David Svoboda and Joe Sible, both engineers in the SEI's CERT Division, talk with principal researcher Suzanne Miller about the Rust programming language and its security-related features. Svoboda and Sible discuss Rust's compile-time safety guarantees, the kinds of vulnerabilities that Rust fixes and those that it does not, situations in which users would not want to use Rust, and where interested users can go to get more information about the Rust programming language.
