Once bitten, always shy, eh? Not saying you are overreacting because I remember the bug and it was bad news. I use C pretty much exclusively (and have for 20 years) but I would rather see new development for handling user input and frequent memory (re)allocation done in Rust.
As a daily systems language Rust is not quite there (for me) yet.
Rust's allocation API is actually making great progress! The RFC process really speeds these things along so that their merits can be tested before being stabilized (through the unstable API). https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1398
