If your team is up-to-date enough to quickly adopt C23, then why not just use Rust There's a lot of reasons to use C23 over rust - multiple compiler implementations - works on more platforms - defined standard - ability to create self-referential data structures without hacky workarounds - immediate, easy access to large numbers of C libraries (For the record I like rust, but the evangelism over the past half decade has been pretty ridiculous. Consider this counter propaganda).
