I want to ask this question here because I feel like many of the viewers will be proponents of C and I want to hear your perspective. Why would someone choose C as a language of choice for a new project over Rust (or some other comparable language with memory safety guarantees)? Will/can C ever address the memory safety issues?

(I’m looking for honest dialogue and not trying to be combative)

For embedded, system software, drivers and kernel work C is probably still king. Also, C is simple and popular enough for one to understand entirely, some people simply prefer it.
