If your team is up-to-date enough to quickly adopt C23, then why not just use Rust

There's a lot of reasons to use C23 over rust

- multiple compiler implementations

- works on more platforms

- defined standard

- ability to create self-referential data structures without hacky workarounds

- immediate, easy access to large numbers of C libraries

(For the record I like rust, but the evangelism over the past half decade has been pretty ridiculous. Consider this counter propaganda).
