here before this website dies you can read this shitpost i made about rust and communism (alt below the cut)
A spectre is haunting Userspace – the spectre of memory safety. All the powers of old Userspace have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Code Architect and Sysadmin, Knuth and Stroustrup, Database Engineers and Frontend Developers.
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as evangelizers by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of memory safety, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Memory Safety is already acknowledged by all Userspace powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Rustaceans should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Memory Safety with a manifesto of the language itself.
To this end, Rustaceans of various nationalities have assembled online and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages.

The history of all hitherto existing programs is the history of memory struggles.
malloc and free, register and memory, pointer and reference, in a word, stack and heap, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of programming at large, or in the common ruin of the contending programmers.
In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of memory into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In Assembly we have registers, stack pointers, static data, and memory; in C, stack variables, pointers, mallocs, and heap data; in almost all of these languages, again, subordinate gradations.
The modern programmer's society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal programs has not done away with memory antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new confusions of memory management, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
