Writing non-trivial programs is easier in Rust than in C, for people that are equally proficient in C as in Rust. Especially if you're allowed to use Cargo and the Rust crates ecosystem.

C isn't even in the same league as Rust when it comes to productivity – again, if you're equally proficient in Rust as in C.

I have 40 years of C muscle memory and it took me many tries and a real investment to get into Rust, but I don’t do any C anymore (even for maintenance- I’d rather rewrite it in Rust first).

Rust isn’t in a difference class from C, it’s a different universe!

This does not match my experience.

Try putting everything in Arc<Mutex<>> or allow mutable_transmutes and things get rather comfy.

Doesn't this defeat the point of using Rust a bit?
