How to Convince Your Boss to Use Rust
summary
The talk explains how to persuade management to adopt Rust by highlighting its memory-safety guarantees (no segfaults once it compiles), prevention of data races, and improved security. It presents practical adoption paths: using Cargo to build standalone binaries, compiling Rust as a static library for C/C++, or calling Rust from Python via C/Python FFI to speed up hot paths; it also suggests incremental migration with small automation (e.g., a test-counting tool) while noting a learning curve.
