What planet do you live on? What do you think embedded/realtime systems, signal processing, graphics, and kernel developers are supposed to use? Also, what do you think these memory-safe, garbage collected, runtime environments are written in?

My guess is that they'd use Rust for new code.

Rust doesn't yet support every platform that C supports and training staff to use a new language and adding tooling to integrate a new language into an existing codebase is extremely expensive.

I don't even know Rust, so there's a reason I write low-level stuff like that in C/C++ ;)
