I love Rust, but I miss C. If C can be updated to make it generally socially acceptable for new projects, I'd happily go back for some decent subset of things I do. However, there's a lot of anxiety and even angst around using C in production code.

Do you really love Rust, or do you feel pressured to say so?

He grew up in a very stringent household. Everybody was writing Rust and he was like, "damn, I wish I could write C."
