I just wish the camps would stop being as tribalistic. I see a broad spectrum of fights between any "better C" language and Rust enthusiasts. There is room for both of these things. Just use what works for you. Rust is a bit more like Ada in spirit, it introduces a lot of friction compared to "C like" things which gladly accept you blowing your leg off. Each tool has unique benefits, and is uniquely suited to different problems.

If I'm building a simple GUI app, I'm not sure the friction from Rust is all that worthwhile. If I'm sending someone to space, I think I'd rather have the safeties of a Rust or an Ada, or MISRA C.
