Speeding up lemmeknow by transposing Lazy<Vec<_>>
You might have heard about lemmeknow, if not, it's a tool that can identify any* text or analyze strings from file.

The most creative, funny, clever, ridiculous, ... library names!
lemmeknow - it let's you know what a text is. Basically identifies text / analyze strings in malware using regular expressions.

Go Library like PyWhat?
Is there a library written in Go similar to PyWhat? I want to use a subset of the functionality for a simple go program I'm writing. I could just call PyWhat, link to lemmeknow, or even write a simple go implementation myself, but I wanted to ask if there was a pure go implementation. Thanks!
- lemmeknow v0.7.0 is here with support for identifying bytes with help of regex crate!

Was Rust Worth It?
Instead of looking at the crates themselves, you might want to check your (or others') Rust application with https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-geiger to get a sense of effective prevalence. I also dispute that the presence of unsafe somewhere in the dependency tree is an issue in itself, but that's a different discussion that many more had in other sub-threads.

Found a language in development called Vale which claims to be the safest AOT compiled language in the World (Claims to beSafer than Rust)
There's still plenty. Run cargo geiger on any of your projects and see for yourself.

On point 2, the answer is cargo geiger, and judging how much memory safety you need for a given project.

[Discussion] What crates would you like to see?
You can use cargo-geiger or cargo-crev to check for whether people you trusted (e.g. u/jonhoo ) trust this crate.
-
How do you choose what crate you will use?
The amount of unsafe code is also a factor. cargo geiger is a handy tool for measuring it.
-
Seems legit
We have cargo-geiger that does just that.
-
Rosenpass – formally verified post-quantum WireGuard
For that, I believe you need to use cargo-geiger[0] and audit the results.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (6/2023)!
cargo-geiger is a subcommand you can install which will check all the crates in your dependency graph for unsafe blocks and print out a report (which also shows if a crate has #![forbid(unsafe_code)] or not). You can then inspect those crates' sources to judge their use of unsafe for yourself. I don't think it has a "check" mode that simply errors if your dependency graph contains unsafe though, it's more about just collecting that information.

[CCS Proposal] Preliminary research on rewriting Monero node in Rust
wrt to memory safety, keep in mind that many rust crates use "unsafe" internally. There are tools available that can find these such as cargo-geiger. So I would suggest to avoid unsafe deps as much as possible. Since they cannot be avoided entirely, it is a good idea to keep a list of unsafe deps.
