This article is pretty shallow. Despite the interesting title, the author is lukewarm on Rust, hasn’t used Rust that much, and hasn’t explored the space of C replacement OSS. Not enough expertise for an insight; it feels half “go with the flow”, half FOMO.

I agree. Of course Rust is going to see "more use", it's popular right now. But that's really the only claim I can see the author making. Or maybe they're making a point about Zig I can't parse; It doesn't have strong memory safety guarantees, and so... something?

On the contrary, I think this outside view is a really good look at the forces driving rust adoption beyond developer enthusiasm.
