Speed of Rust vs. C

I don't know if you are a minority, but Rust is available right now and C-but-with-Rust's-great-ideas isn't. As far as I know no one is working on C-but-with-Rust's-great-ideas, so I don't think it's a good strategy to wait around for it instead of using the tools that exist and are already used with great impact.

for new projects, sure. but when it comes to existing c/c++ projects, I'm not a big fan of rewriting everything.

I mean, it's probably infeasible to rewrite everything and it makes sense to focus on the cases where it'd have the greatest impact, sure.
