And who’s volunteering for that verification using the existing toolchain? I don’t think that’s been overlooked just because the git devs are too dumb or lazy or unmotivated.
That came across more harshly than I meant, but I stand by the gist of it: this stuff is too hard to do in C or someone would’ve done it. It can be done, clearly, but there’s not the return on investment in this specific use case. But with better tooling, and more ergonomic languages, those are achievable goals by a larger pool of devs — if not today, because Rust isn’t as common as C yet, then soon.
