> C-like low-level control along with safety against shooting themselves in the foot Yep, checking in. I want to write libraries that work on Windows, Linux, OSx, iOS, and Android that expose a C api but without having to write any C. I know a bit of C, but not enough to feel like I can effectively use it to build the things I can build with Rust. |

I love what the Foreward [1] in the Rust Book has to say about this:
"Traditionally, this realm of programming is seen as arcane, accessible only to a select few who have devoted the necessary years learning to avoid its infamous pitfalls. And even those who practice it do so with caution, lest their code be open to exploits, crashes, or corruption.
Rust breaks down these barriers by eliminating the old pitfalls and providing a friendly, polished set of tools to help you along the way."
