Anything that wants to unthrone C not only has to be better and no worse than C but also has to beat "C plus domain-specific libraries". A lot of things C itself lacks can be added with relatively thin libraries. The problem with that, of course, is that we can always circumvent libraries, conventions, type checkers, etc. and do dangerous things. In that sense Rust does seem very interesting.
