Outside our bubble, there’s an _ocean_ of embedded software/firmware and lower level library stuff, on up-to-date platforms, written in C by people or teams that would find switching to Rust just a _massive_ chore. I’d guess there is at least an order of magnitude more of this than Rust.

And I certainly appreciated C11 when writing Objective-C, so I’m sure people with large codebases of ObjC will appreciate it (though most will be using Swift for new features nowadays).
