Nah he was right about Linux so be quiet about the racial slur stuff for sure.
Yeah, that rule is stupid and short-sighted.

What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?

Already fixed, in software that's existed for years and is used by millions. But Oh no, memory issues, let's rewrite that in ! will surely result in a better outcome.
Rsync is great software, but the C language fates it to keep having memory issues in spite of its skilled developers.
Preventing a bug from being possible > fixing a bug.
I fear moving away from GPL that moving to Rust seems to bring, but Rust does fix real memory issues.
Take the recent rsync vulnerabilities for example.
At least this one in a Rust implementation of rsync would have very likely been avoided:
CVE-2024-12085 – A flaw was found in the rsync daemon which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time. Info Leak via uninitialized Stack contents defeats ASLR.
