Rust seems like the best available choice for Tor in a safer language. Rust has several issues with securely obtaining a Rust toolchain that the Tor community should be attentive to. Rust is a self hosted compiler. Building Rust requires obtaining binaries for a recent Rust compiler. The Rust too

Hi Samir, this sounds like an interesting summer project. Since you are interested in using PCSA, our work on privacy-preserving statistics, which actually develops a privacy-enhanced version of PCSA, might be helpful. We also propose it as a way to collect distributed statistics. In our HotP
