This conversation is about general use of C vs alternatives such as Rust.

If you can't use Rust because of your specific circumstances that's ok - use C! But don't use "my current circumstances prevent me from using Rust" as an argument as an argument against Rust in general - which is what you're doing.

First of all I'm just summarizing the article, I'm in no way arguing against people using Rust. The article itself argues against C alternatives, and explicitly describes Rust as a C++ alternative. So the article is not even arguing against Rust! If we can't agree on such a basic reading of the article, it just seems like we're going to pointlessly talk past each other in the comments.


This is just trolling, you obviously were previously engaging in this thread under the premise that Rust is a C alternative.


Can you quote where I did that? Because I have no idea what you're talking about.
