Moving using a 70's technology breaks things. Rust is tested already on other OSes like Windows, Mac (or iOS) and Android and solves several pitfalls of C and C++. Some quotes from the Android team [1]:
"To date, there have been zero memory safety vulnerabilities discovered in Android’s Rust code."
"Safety measures make memory-unsafe languages slow"
Not saying Rust is the perfect solution to every problem, but it is definitely not an outlandish proposition to use it where it makes sense.
