> the rewrite you should have considered wasn't to Rust in the last ten years but to Java or C# much earlier.

That doesn't quite make sense. The point of Fil-C, is to not have to rewrite in any other language, because it's still C. But now, there are safety benefits, though there is a trade-off with size and speed. Even in that context, size and speed, it can be very acceptable to many people and Fil-C will improve in that department as time goes on.

> Rust is just so much nicer.

That clearly is your own personal opinion that not everyone shares. There are many people who do not like Rust.
