It's long in comparison to Rust!
Quite. There's a term, often used by engineers (Chartered, obviously): "time served". C is time served - it might be a bit weird and start dribbling for no reason but it quite literally runs a huge part of the world.
Rust is not time served and it needs to grow up. Initial signs are positive. We are at the cooing stage over a pretty child that may either be the Messiah (a Naughty Boy) or decide to throw its poo at its parents and stick to licking windows.
Time will tell.
That's not my definition of long history! My first Linux kernel was just pre 2.0 and I used make config. Actually I used make config for quite a while before it got out of hand and I started keeping copies of the config to work from instead of doing it from scratch each time I did an upgrade.
I'm not the sharpest tool ...
