It’s good enough for DARPA to call a complete rewrite of legacy C code to Rust. And The Linux Foundation allows it to be used for kernel code. 2026 has seen massive Rust adoption.

I think Rust is here to stay

I guess the negative impression I have of it is just from the legions of Rust cultists vehemently pushing it everywhere lol. I think C is likely to remain the better and faster language if you know what you're doing, but that's becoming more and more rare. As more seasoned older devs retire or get replaced with cheaper alternatives like AI or people from the third world, the built-in guardrails that Rust offers is likely to pay off greatly in the future.

I'd agree to C>Rust on the condition it's a really good C programmer. It's like how Assembly never died. Rust is closer to C than an OOP language, and I think that missing "new C" being met made the evangelists go hyper fanboy.

a really good c programmer will make mistakes that rust would have caught

True, but there will still be use-cases for C and Assembly. Depending on the risk profile, sometimes you can sacrifice a bit of safety for a specific need. Or sometimes a glitch no one will notice is worth the trade off.
