Thought experiment: Systems languages have long lifespans once they gain traction. If you started learning #Rust today, it would be roughly equivalent to picking up #C in 1980, or #CPP in 1993. You would have 30 years of experience in a language that is still being used worldwide by major players in tech. If Rust followed a similar trajectory, your skill set would still be sought after in 2053, with no end in sight. Tech moves fast, but it also moves slow.

These are 42 years.

A kind denizen of #c on Libera.Chat says that my analysis is sound. I had to ask to make sure I'm not spouting BS. 😛

Another possible cause they named is stack corruption. To quote: "thread bug or stack corruption or some other external effect, the code as written seems fine."
