Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. I get that there are a lot of sharp edges in C but I don't see why every attempt to do a new language wants to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Why not do a C dialect that fixes whatever it is that bugs people? There is value in the Rust language, why couldn't that value have been added to a C like language?

There have been attempts. Safe-C and Cyclone come to mind.
