Come on. As 0xbadcafebee hinted at, you can practically write OCaml in C if you wish to. And good luck dealing with timing attacks, secure data deletion and overflow behavior in other languages.

All those are pretty easy in Rust.

Rust software is bug free by design /s.

Rust software is free of entire classes of bugs by default, by design, and the language lends itself to patterns that eliminate even more.

Sure, but none of the classes of bugs you mention contain Log4Shell.

The only issue is that Rust programmers do not do anything usefull. The only place i heard Rust is used is in Firefox. So, if Rust is so good, will be nice to see some real world uses.

Nobody is making that argument. It's about what the language/libraries guide you to naturally.
