> In any case, if one is discussing modern and safe languages, there's a dramatic difference between using a C library and using a library native to the language. The dramatic nature of that difference is whether that library exists or not. Odds are, if exists then it's written in C. Thus this point is mute with regards to Rust because at best it's relegated to a nice-to-have, in the sense you can enjoy the same features that are already available in C but with language-specific assertions.
