Careful with generalizations like that. You're forgetting the most important reason anyone uses a language:
It's the one they know.
A C programmer isn't automatically going to switch to Rust for new projects that they would use C for, unless their goal is to use Rust.
- tonyarkles 6y agoLol C programmer since 1994 here... just started a Rust project with the specific goal of learning Rust. The project itself is just to scratch my own itch. I’d honestly probably write it in Python if I didn’t want to see what Rust was all about :)
