Well, the article literally has more C code in it than Rust, so it sure seems to be about comparing Rust to C.
Why the author thought it would be useful to compare Rust's strings to C, a language that literally doesn't even have a string type is beyond me. Kind of like saying "Look how fast I can run! Even faster than a walrus!"

Like I explained, it's difficult to understand Rust's language design - especially why it has multiple string types - without understanding C. Really, it's difficult to understand the decisions of most languages, without understanding C.
