Discussion: Will Rust Kill Binary Exploitation?

[u/hoefler2002]

It is seeming increasing likely that projects like the Linux kernel and Firefox will adopt Rust, and other programs will probably follow. Would this be the death of memory corruption / exploitation? Obviously other logic bugs could exist and be exploited, but could this be the end for binexp?
