We’ve transitioned from creating new features to polishing the release. Expect a singular focus on quality for the remaining preview releases. Because 'Beta' isn't cool anymore, and 'Alpha' is too accurate
"We intend to make very few changes after Preview 7 for most APIs. Notable exceptions are: WPF, Windows Forms, Blazor and Entity Framework. " You know, the stuff you want to use.

Unfortunately, that strategy also applies to bugs - as few changes as possible.

Assuming it's as "smart" as gmail's artificial idiocy powered autocomplete, I expect it to work as well as copying code from the question section of randomly selected QA posts.

In this series, we have explored the need for proactive measures to eliminate a class of vulnerabilities and walked through some examples of memory safety issues we’ve found in Microsoft code that could have been avoided with a different language. Now we’ll peek at why we think that Rust represents the best alternative to C and C++ currently available. It gives you a chance to rewrite everything in a new language?
Sorry, that album is *literally* the first through fifth things that comes into my head every time I hear about this language. This was an attempt to avoid repeating myself again.

You can write crappy code in ANY language, and the language ain't gonna help you.

That class of vulnerabilities could have been avoided in several ways, none of which involve a rewrite in Rust or any other language. Isn't that why they added the str***_s family of functions?

A couple of years back, even researchers would wave off using DNA to store data as something too futuristic to have any practical value. Today, you can extend PostgreSQL with the right software and bio-chemical modules, and run SQL on DNA. SELECT * FROM nucleus WHERE G!=C
