So you say younger programmer have not the required coding kung fu to cope with c code? I hope you are wrong. The perspective to have rust like things on everydays devices realy frightens me. C is like a Lingua franca for computers. Nearly any hardware near person can READ it. I am one of this Boomers and i am not able to propper READ rust code, because the syntax is so academic. The fact that more and more code is written in rust, lessens the amount of people that can read programs
It's more like no programmer of any age has the required coding kung fu to cope with C code. It is inevitable that they will introduce problematic code. We have decades of examples illustrating this. We lived with it because there was no truly competitive alternative for so long.
I can read and write C code from the times when there weren't any competitive alternatives. I have no problem reading or writing Rust code. In fact it communicates more to me than C code does or can and I can immediately understand more about the code written in Rust than I can about code written in C.
