You may think putting C++ and Rust in the same category against C will make your comment a bit more popular. But the reality is Rust people cringe at C++ code a lot more.
Yup. C bad, Rust good.

It's not like NASA sent a rover, written almost fully in C, to Mars. It's not like billions of cars and even more billions of their ECUs are written in C. It's not like the firmware of the keyboard you're writing your comment on, or even the OS/browser you're using is written in C. C bad, Rust good.

Doesn't that only work on Reddit?

Rust lets you write unsafe code, and as a matter of fact people are using unsafe abundantly.
