The sudo-rs project improves on the security of the original sudo by:
- Using a memory safe language (Rust), as it's estimated that one out of three security bugs in the original sudo have been memory management issues
- Leaving out less commonly used features so as to reduce attack surface
- Developing an extensive test suite which even managed to find bugs in the original sudo

Nice... the code is readable and so are the tests. Good job.
I bet there are many linux utilities still left to rewrite in rust.
