I see Rust is almost equal to C if not better in the graph, however, I think equally-skilled programmers in either language would show the Rust programmer spending more 'energy' programming and iterating than the C programmer, but then make the argument that the C program will use more 'energy' downstream if bugs slip in. In any case, an eye-opening metric on what I, and I am sure many, take for granted. Cool.

EDIT: I think Zig would come up pretty good here too:
