It's a little bit sad that at -3 votes, this is the lowest voted comment I've ever had in my ~4 years on HN, lower than a number of controversial political comments. To clarify, I'm not claiming that everyone should start using Rust. Now was I claiming that PHK is somehow unqualified for the task, far from it. I'm not even saying C is a bad language (I like C), or that people should stop using C altogether. But if you're building an security-critical application designed to be used in the future across millions of servers, and one that requires low-latency, I simply don't understand why you wouldn't strongly consider Rust, which offers strong guarantees about memory and type safety along with low latency and a very modern and complete standard library. Or Ada. Or OCaml.
