Ah yes, the rust zealots shitting on one of the most important languages of all time... again.

Kinda weird how the number one way to promote Rust has been to downplay C and others.

How exactly do you promote anything without saying "it's better than the competition" in some way?

What else can you say about a programming language? There's literally not a single point where a feature is not a comparison to the rest of the languages. There's exactly one actual barrier: turing completeness. And that bar is so low, even Excel gets over it.

Also rust interacts through C Abi with most stuff. So C is still important for it.
