You cannot have data races in safe Rust.

How do you get that C# is way behind Go on this one? If anything, those benchmarks show these groups of languages performing at roughly the same level: 1. C/Rust 2. Go/C# 3. Java/O…

Yep. Rust has a PathBuf[1] type for dealing with paths in a platform-native manner. You can convert it to a Rust string type, but it's a conversion that can fail[2] or may be lossy…

> the GC and runtime make it impossible to leak, double-free, or access out-of-bounds This is false. Neither C# nor Rust protect from memory leaks. There are actually some gotchas …

Yes, it's quite possible to cause tearing in C#. It does not cause undefined behavior, but it can, for example, break invariants (supposedly enforced by privacy) in large enough st…

How would protecting a single website help? If the password is shared among different sites, and one of the sites turns out to be malicious, I'll be able to access your single webs…

That relies on every website implementing this solution, and I don't think such coordination is possible. Also I don't see the advantage over just server-side hashing. Client-side …

Rayon[1] is artificial silk. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

Doesn't this process break when, e.g., master + A passes tests, master + A + B fails, but master + A + B + C + D passes again (having been fixed by C + D accidentally)? I mean, it'…
