They can still change idea. Also because Apple and Mozilla have already added support in their browsers, Microsoft is adding it to Windows soon… There is still hope.

Given the restrictive nature of mobile operating systems, such exploits are much less impactful than on desktop OSs. Furthermore, if you are dealing with those exploits, you are probably victim of a targeted attack, which is well above what normal users worry about.

What do you mean? In most OSS that i use (surely all KDE apps) there is a donate button in the menu bar that opens a webpage with a PayPal button… I don’t know how easier could it be.

We don’t poo in public toilets.

My point wasn’t that C++ is good. My point was that C++ can and is used everywhere (desktop applications, web applications, OSs,…) and is older than Rust. So I feel that “this is the first general purpose language that can be used for all projects” is false. Probably “this is the first general purpose language that I (and many others) like to use for all projects” is true, but is a different claim.

TLDR: You said Rust was first language capable of system, app and web, it isn’t.

I feel like C++ is as competent as Rust for any project and it’s definitely older.

Android can terminate apps even if they still are in the recent app view. My Samsung is really aggressive in this regard with some apps, Firefox being one of them.
