And a new generation of developers who have found C too intimidating to write code in.

  I don't think that is the problem. Rather it turns out everybody has been naive in thinking you can actually successfully manage memory, or other shared resourced in C without footgunning yourself.

    Those are definitely related but distinct. The fact is that many younger developers will simply (for this and other reasons) refuse to contribute to a C (or C++) project, but happily do so to a Rust project.

      I trust Linus to keep the shitty contributions out (and lambast contributors if necessary).

        No worries, that's only natural, especially for Linus, after all he's the one that said "if keeping C for the sole purpose of not letting C++ "devs" contribute - so be it" lol (and thanks him for that)
