Rust offers a safer programming language, but adoption is still a problem despite recent signs of increasing popularity. Never underestimate the ability of people to create new vulnerabilities

All they are doing is replacing obvious vulnerabilities (in the applications) with more subtle vulnerabilities (in the RTL and/or the VM ).
For evidence, see most of the release notes for recent VS2019 releases.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The operative words are "safer" and "reduce." There is no such thing as "safe" or 100% safety. There is only "safer than." But if, as is claimed, Rust eliminates 70% of security vulnerabilities (others say this too, e.g., Amazon) that's a win.
Just view it as another tool in the toolbox. Almost no existing languages get killed off completely. C and C++ ain't disappearing anytime soon.

A world where;
Fresh water not available everywhere
Vaccines are scarce,
We have slave labor, including children.
Forced prostitution, human trafficking, child prostitutes,
Famines and hunger,
Sewages missing,
And no global coverage in pizza deliveries..
You say internet is a basic right? Is FaceBook that more important than clean water?

We've had two decades to absorb the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto. What have we learned, and what are we still learning? 'We are closer and more aware, but we are turning a tanker and it is slow and incremental.' It's always best to do some warmups for a while before showing how agile you are

not real surprise there... that would imply common sense, and we already know that it is not that common... sadly

Two features pretty much everyone knows. Three features introduced in .NET 5, which have already had a lot of coverage elsewhere, but might still be new to some. And then a long advert for their own commercial service.

If that were true, it should have hit them time ago...
