Exactly 3 years ago on this day, a conference dedicated to the Rust programming language was held in Moscow
On OpenNET, a popular Russian-language site dedicated to open and free computer technologies, news announcing this conference was posted by a user under the pseudonym QwertyReg, who, in addition, added a dozen other news items promoting the Rust programming language over the course of a couple of weeks. In a related livejournal, this user demonstrated his ironic attitude to the Rust promotion information he himself published, and provided proof that he received $100 from an unnamed customer for publishing each such news item.
On the website of the Rust Foundation, you can find out that many well-known IT corporations are involved in funding the promotion of this programming language, with Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft being the platinum partners of the foundation. There is also published information on how you can get grants from this specialised foundation. Earlier this year, it became known that the White House itself, the Democratic Biden administration, urges developers to dump C and C++, while promoting Rust as a replacement for them:
Later, the US Department of Defence's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) itself explicitly announced ambitious plans to autotranslate C code into Rust.( Read more... )
The conference is intended both for those who already write certain products in this language, and for those who are looking at it. The event will discuss issues devoted to improving software products by adding or transferring functionality to Rust, as well as the reasons why it can't be done in C/C++.

The new 19-page report from ONCD gave C and C++ as two examples of programming languages with memory safety vulnerabilities, and it named Rust as an example of a programming language it considers safe. In addition, an NSA cybersecurity information sheet from November 2022 listed Rust as programming languages it considers to be memory-safe.
