It isn't just Rust failing to displace C from those places, it's all the languages. But did other languages have the same ambitions ? As I understood, Rust wanted to be safer but just as fast as C. Which would make it an ideal language to replace those input parsers. It's a pity that still hasn't happened because we'll still be seeing plenty of CVEs for those libs..
