Yeah, this is just trolling. There's nothing inherent to rust that requires ( or even recommends) writing code like this. There's nothing inherent to C that prevents bad API designs like this.

Nothing about this post is notable or interesting. It's low-effort rage bait.

"There's nothing inherent to C that prevents bad API designs like this."

I don't have any data to back this and library interface designs are so personal taste-prone, but I would say that the average Rust crate has a better API than the average C library.
