This is architectural problem, the LUA bug, the longer global outage last week, a long list of earlier such outages only uncover the problem with architecture underneath. The original, distributed, decentralized web architecture with heterogeneous endpoints managed by myriad of organisations is much more resistant to this kind of global outages. Homogeneous systems like Cloudflare will continue to cause global outages. Rust won't help, people will always make mistakes, also in Rust. Robust architecture addresses this by not allowing a single mistake to bring down myriad of unrelated services at once.

Obviously Rust is the answer to these kind of problems. But if you are cloudflare and have an important company at a global scale, you need to set high standarts for your rust code. Developers should dance and celebrate end of the day if their code compiles in rust.
