There seems to be a perception among Rust programmers that C's status as a defacto standard came to be in spite of C's contradictions, rather than as a result of them. Skimming the Rustonomicon just now left me with the impression that at least one Rust person gets it. Though it still seemed as if the author felt the need to choose their words very carefully, lest they "make the memory model people angry".
