The best feature of C is the inconvenience of managing dependencies. This encourages a healthy mistrust of third-party code. Rust is unfortunately bundled with an excellent package manager, so it's already well on its way to NPM-style dependency hell.

I am very tired of reinventing wheels in C because integrating third-party dependencies is even more annoying than writing and maintaining my own versions of common routines.
