> Do you not value the increased memory safety?

C offers an appropriate level of memory safety for the problems it solves. I take managing my own memory over unreadable code and dependency hell any day. The fact that C will run on DSPs with 27-bit pointers is just an added bonus. The ease of manual memory management in C is an advantage, not a downside.

And the tooling for C will exist long after rust has been abandoned.
