Open source, in a nutshell :

The majority of tools in software development that are built on top of something else exist purely to bypass limitations in the underlying tooling, and it would have been more appropriate to improve the underlying tooling instead. But that would have required talking to people.

J'ai presque envie de dire que ce n'est pas l'open-source qui est cassé, c'est le capitalisme.

Software written in unsafe languages often contains hard-to-catch bugs that can result in severe security vulnerabilities, and we take these issues seriously at Google. That’s why we’re expanding our collaboration with the Internet Security Research Group to support the reimplementation of critical open-source software in memory-safe languages. […]

The ISRG's approach of working directly with maintainers to support rewriting tools and libraries incrementally falls directly in line with our perspective here at Google.

The new Rust-based HTTP and TLS backends for curl and now this new TLS library for Apache httpd are an important starting point in this overall effort.
