That’s an extremely specific reading of the claim “fix C” that excludes almost everything but Rust.

I never said those are the only ways to fix C. Try reading the argument again:

> What Rust hast brought to the tables was nearly the same what was brought by 100+ other programming languages in attempts to "fix C."

> Oh... can you show me those 100+ other languages that have opt-out memory safety, explicit lifetime annotation, a borrow checker and no runtime?

Maybe I can make it even clearer:

> What Rust has brought to the tables was nearly the same as 100+ other languages

> Oh... can you show me those 100+ other languages that have (some unique Rust features)
