As systems programmer there are no better options. C is inherently unsafe, C++ is awful to work with and unsafe without careful use of pre-made safe abstractions that can't catch everything at runtime...

I have written C for decades and love the language, but Rust has convinced me that we need to evolve beyond the 70s. There's no excuse anymore.
