Wild claims. So many huge projects have been successfully written in C by humans. There are patterns to solve all the built in solutions provided by Rust, how do you imagine Rust got them in the first place?

One tiny example of many here is the Linux kernel.

I'd say we didn't have many options back then except for C and no more than 4-5 others. So we did the things you quoted _despite_ C's drawbacks, not because of them.

I can very easily imagine doing the same things with Rust, with small amount of exceptions (that the core team is working on even now).

And yes Rust learned from the mistakes of the languages before it. Is that a bad thing?
