Is LITERALLY the ONLY way to fix a language. No amount of lipstick can fix C/C++, precisely because is an established language (that amounts for any lang in the moment is settled AND widespread).

But C/C++ is unique in a particular way: Their users are the MOST stubborns of all!

And Rust is the first time the arguments for start new things on C/C++ because reasons are not very very small...
