Call me antiquated, but I still don’t love Rust for these reasons. I don’t dislike it, and I recognize it solves some very real problems around memory management. Whether I like it or not it is probably the future… But Cargo is incredibly opinionated, essentially obligatory, the compiler is huge…
It’s not something you could bootstrap on a glorified microcontroller running MINIX or something. I’ll just say that. And that’s something I really really love about C.

compiler is based on llvm and is relatively lightweight (llvm is the “huge” part which to be fair is also used in clang)
