    YubiKeys still can cost you up to $50, where as TOTP using something like google authenticator(doesn't have to be google auth) costs you? Nothing?

    Basically the cut down to everything is the laziness of how it is developed and how many people are actually looking over the entire code. ATS allows the developers to know that th…

    So rust & ATS & ADA & higher level languages can modify memory space? That I am aware of most higher level languages stray from being able to modify memory space on purpose as it's…

    Just because this alternative language would have avoided this bug does not mean a much worse but would not have been created with a higher level language or even ATS.

    Ada is a higher language weather or not it has linkage to C or not. The UNIX community cares about performance, performance, performance.

    That's still not my point. At the time of starting openssl I don't believe that ATS was around. In any case my point is that back then C lang was the best choice for performance an…

    Well it would be nice if google could check the url it was visiting and if there is any sqli in it to not send the request (though this could potentially slow their crawling...)
