I'm definitely on super thin ice with C -- C++ is the surer bet. To be fair, there are also people who have been working tirelessly to improve C++ so they're not getting left behind either. I do think eventually it could replace C though -- because rust with `unsafe` blocks still has the possibility of being safer than C. This could be a boon to security critical software, as long as the performance margin isn't too hard. Shops that have found ways to write safe C will likely never move (they don't need to), but new ones might pick rust where they might have picked C otherwise. BTW, the embedded support in rust is really impressive for such a young language: https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust
