@animeirl C is unavoidable not because it has been around so long--Fortran and Lisp have been around longer--but because it is useful for so many tasks.

Rust is a shit language and I will not use it and the more people whine, the less I will be inclined. Rust is like Nazism: even if you assume that they are correct about everything, the main effect it has is turning people into intolerable whiners that cannot help injecting mentions of their single issue into every thread they see, whether it's germane or not.
