Considering that Ken Thompson later helped building Go, which is pretty much an anti-Rust, I do indeed think that they wouldn't have gone with an overengineered boondoggle like Rust if they had the choice. Apparently Brian Kernighan also isn't a big fan of Rust, quote: "I have written only one Rust program, so you should take all of this with a giant grain of salt,” he said. “And I found it a — pain… I just couldn’t grok the mechanisms that were required to do memory safety, in a program where memory wasn’t even an issue!"
