I only mention Core, because it uses the same bootstap chain, that you could use for LDK, LNDK, Ord, etc. Maybe it would have been better to mention Liana wallet, which is Rust-based and uses this bootstrap chain too.

Lunduke exagerates everything, but that's besides the point, his argument is one logical, not a sensationalist one. Notice that this is not about Core, but the things we run algonside Core, such as LDK, LNDK, Ord, or, why not... even cargo-binutils.

Rust is an existential threat.
