I've been in and around Open Source since around 1997, and have been running (GNU) Linux as my main desktop at home and work since then: not always easy... I'm a security bod and architect, co-founder of the Enarx project, and am currently CEO of a start-up in the Confidential Computing space. I have a blog - "Alice, Eve & Bob" - where I write (sometimes rather parenthetically) about security. I live in the UK and like single malts.

Why I switched from Java to Rust

Alex -

Your point is entirely fair, and I didn't mean that everything about it felt familiar, more that _enough_ about it felt familiar that the initial learning curve wasn't to steep.
