There's a Japanese proverb: If you believe everything you read on hacker news, don't read hacker news.

Let's say rust fares better than go, c#, D, java, limbo, modula (-2, -3), oberon, pascal, etc. Programmers around the world race to convert all legacy C code to rust. C, C++ and Objective C are banned under international treaty and everyone suspected of leaking memory is rounded up and sent to coder bootcamps for re-education. Learning C is the second best (behind assembly) programming language to understand how your computer actually works.
