@cjd @david @TheMadPirate @p @ins0mniak There's no point in "winning" a "language war". C is here to stay no matter how many people complain about it. It's the COBOL of the modern age.

You won't see Rust is embedded, because the binaries are huge and you'll probably never see Rust when writing embedded micro-controller stuff, because the things you do there are almost always inherently memory unsafe.

Where Rust will probably "win" is applications at the complete end of the chain. And maybe system runtime libraries, but it probably won't go deeper than that.
