That's a lot of hype.

I don't hate C, like some here, but I am receptive to the many objections to it: it makes a lot of sense.

But I would be a lot more receptive to this particular attack on C (which is pretty reasonable) if it wasn't so melodramatic: claiming that Rust will "save software" and that C is some kind of garbage with no advantages of any sort. Both are false (although the latter has some truth to it: C has many issues).

The truth is strongly in your favour: No need to stretch it.
