Hi!

I read your blog post
http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/08/why-qemu-should-move-from-c-to-rust.html

I thought it was a well thought out exposition of the topic of "what shall
we do to security vulnerabilities due to C bugs. Is Rust the answer".

However, one small inaccuracy caught my eye. Rust doesn't prevent memory
leaks. Memory leaks aren't considered memory unsafe by Rust's definition.
It is possible to leak memory in safe Rust. I believe memory leaks are not
prevented, because trying to prove their absence at compile time boils down
to the halting problem.
