As someone that's forced to write C occasionally Rust is a godsend. I prefer high level languages but when I need the performance it's nice to have something that doesn't feel like it's from the 80's.

C is extremely painful. C++ is a shitshow. Rust is glorious in comparison.

Rust, or something like it, will definitely replace C/C++ someday. And rust has way more traction than anything else
