It's wild how draconian and forced the use of Rust has become. It's one thing to be caught up in corporate induced hype, yet another level to force one's preferences or ideology on everybody else.

Many people don't like Rust, for various acceptable reasons, and their right to choose should be respected. Sticking with C, is an equally acceptable option. In addition to there being various other newer C alternatives languages; with greater readability, memory-safety, and ease of use. There is also Fil-C[1][2], that can provide memory-safety, with no to minimum changes to the code.
