It's more like no programmer of any age has the required coding kung fu to cope with C code. It is inevitable that they will introduce problematic code. We have decades of examples illustrating this. We lived with it because there was no truly competitive alternative for so long. I can read and write C code from the times when there weren't any competitive alternatives. I have no problem reading or writing Rust code. In fact it communicates more to me than C code does or can and I can immediately understand more about the code written in Rust than I can about code written in C.
