> a larger developer base that has to maintain older Rust drivers might cut corners, use more unsafe features, misunderstand/misremember the nuances of this or that, and what was once exciting is now tedious. The great thing about Rust is that it makes it much harder to cut corners, and much more obvious when someone does (making it easier to pick up at review stage). Invariants can be built into APIs in a way that simply can't be done in C.
