So Rust wants to be the new C? Like if someone was writing a new OS or code for an autonomous vehicle today is Rust a likely candidate?

Rust wants to be the new C without C warts, using the compiler to ensure memory safety (up to a point), promoting immutability and having generics baked in.

I'm not a C programmer, but I think Rust can fit almost everywhere C can fit.
