> It's crash early model wrt stack overflows and out-of-memory errors seems to trade off availability for safety

It's worth noting that while you can catch these kind of errors in C, very little software actually does so. The only software I'm aware of that does this is SQLite. Your C software will more than likely crash in OOM and StackOverflow situations too.

Tbh C would have never crossed my mind as an alternative for Rust in this case. I guess that says something.
