Why C and not Rust? Not criticizing, just curious.

C is used in a lot of infrastructure - especially at lower levels (eg : server operations, routers, etc)

Rust isn't. Not to say that couldn't change, but there's just no active functioning infrastructure using it yet - or if it is, it's not very visible yet.

Mind, I code in C daily and rarely see anything else anymore, but I work in that infrastructure level of systems.
