       @sjvn @TheNewStack so you know from your tarmageddon article that logic errors can cause CVEs regardless of rust.  Rewriting tools in a new language is a good way of creating new logic errors which has to be set against the risk of still existing memory faults the old tools ... which is pretty minimal for something as old as sudo.
