While some developers argue that rewriting dependencies in memory-safe languages removes shared attack surfaces, critics contend that rewrites introduce new maintenance burdens and debugging challenges. The author argues that instead of wholesale rewrites, organizations should maintain accurate software inventories, support upstream maintainers, automate dependency updates, and restrict decoder permissions.
