My point is, the new language way may well be the "harder" one, for implementers or for users. It might be explained as a knee-jerk type reaction. Although new languages can still have some additional benefits of safety. Ways have tradeoffs and agents should evaluate them reasonably. I want to see a well-founded analysis of costs/benefits for the choice between Rust and safe variant of C/C++ or similar choice.
