> Rust: Promotes itself to be better C but its simply a more complex language design. >> huh? Rust tries to solve the real problem of shooting yourself in the foot in C without compromising on being as close as possible to bare metal. By having a more complex language design. You can't deny that lifetimes and the borrow checker make Rust a much more complex language than C

In C you have to care about lifetimes and borrows as well, it's just that the compiler doesn't help you with it.

It's not like a simpler language makes use after free (a basic lifetime example) go away.

  A simpler language with a GC makes it go away.
