> The last thing we need is another down-in-the-weeds language for bit twiddling. I disagree. Currently, the best programming language for "bit twiddling" is C, and throughout the years C has essentially remained the same language that was developed four decades ago. In spite of C remaining one of the most popular programming languages in history, the language could be improved. Graydon Hoare and the good people at Mozilla Research have decided to put in the legwork themselves and pick up the slack. They managed to do a commendable job, and the quality of their work is being increasingly recognized. The reason is quite clear: the whole world was eagerly looking for "another down-in-the-weeds language for bit twiddling" that helped circumvent the lack of progress imposed on the C programming language. Rust does just that and more.
