We all have our favourite much safer than C compiled languages. Rust is
not a bad choice for avoiding mutable shared data, my choice in that
space these days is Haskell. Pity Wietse and I are unlikely to find a
better that C we're both presently comfortable in.
Migration away from C is not an urgent problem in Postfix, as you
probably know. Thanks to Wietse's diligence, C footguns are exceedingly
rare in Postfix. This one creates no notable issues, just returns an
incorrect answer from some "postconf -xd" recursive expansions.
