"This is the fun part." 😂 Maybe it's type 2 fun but so thankful to Greg Walker and Learn Me a Bitcoin for breaking down technical details of Taproot transactions! https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/upgrades/taproot/#script-path-spend https://static.learnmeabitcoin.com/diagrams/png/taproot-script-path-spend.png

"What has been lacking until a few years ago is a language with the speed of C/C++ with built-in memory safety assurances. In 2006, a software engineer at Mozilla began working on a new programming language called Rust. Rust version 1.0 was officially announced in 2015. Since then, several prominent software organizations have started to use it in their systems, including Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and many others. It is also supported in the development of the Linux kernel." - CISA https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/urgent-need-memory-safety-software-products

A couple years ago, the federal government told companies to stop using 'memory-unsafe' languages like C and C++ by 2026 and suggested #rust as an alternative https://thenewstack.io/feds-critical-software-must-drop-c-c-by-2026-or-face-risk/
"A recent report issued jointly by CISA and the FBI on Product Security Bad Practices warns software manufacturers about bad practices such as using memory-unsafe programming languages like C and C++."

Interesting article about the history of #rust https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1067869/rust-worlds-fastest-growing-programming-language/
"The software inside devices like elevators is often written in languages like C++ or C, which are famous for allowing programmers to write code that runs very quickly and is quite compact. The problem is those languages also make it easy to accidentally introduce memory bugs—errors that will cause a crash. Microsoft estimates that 70% of the vulnerabilities in its code are due to memory errors from code written in these languages."

action should be informed by thought

one of the advantages of #rust:
"When you attempt to access an element using indexing, Rust will check that the index you’ve specified is less than the array length. If the index is greater than or equal to the length, Rust will panic. This check has to happen at runtime, especially in this case, because the compiler can’t possibly know what value a user will enter when they run the code later.
This is an example of Rust’s memory safety principles in action. In many low-level languages, this kind of check is not done, and when you provide an incorrect index, invalid memory can be accessed."
