In February, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) urged technology companies to adopt memory-safe programming languages like Rust.
My comment is somewhat unfair, but WH is not the right body to make this kind of recommendation.
And the problem is about executing programs in windows. This is not about memory-safety.
A bunch of other languages are affected as well as noted by @colonial@lemmy.world.
Oof. Looks like this affected some other languages as well - somebody at Microsoft needs to up their documentation game, methinks.
This hurts my brain. We have nice shell languages now, can we just lock down and phase out the rest please? I don’t even want to know the hidden cost of running Bash or sh scripts tbh. Both are languages where you can do something not right enough, because everything just has to be obnoxious.
I won’t argue with you that bash is janky and easily insecure, but what shell language do you think should replace bash?
