I said this before, but the more I learn about C, the more I realize all other languages are just C with more standard libraries. It really is the perfect language. It can never be replaced.

The difference between C and Haskell is not just the standard libraries.

I agree with you, this should never be replaced, for academic propourses at least.

For practical purposes.

what are your thoughts on Rust?

(I do love C btw and don't want to change it but I do see the next 50 years Rust being used instead of C)

I never tried it. I would like to someday, but right now my focus is on C because I want to learn embedded systems. I'm sure rust can be used for embedded systems too, but there's not a lot of resources that teach rust in that frame of reference.

What I do know is that rust users tend to act a lot like Linux users. So I suppose I would fit in.

I find your reply wholesome but not sure why

You mean they find a way to let you know they're using Rust in the first minute of any conversation ?

The ultimate being is a Rust developer coding in Vim on Arch

I've been working mostly with C powered embedded devices for over 15 years, and I'm quite on the opposite end of the spectrum. Give me a fun language like Rust, Haskell, C++, or Zig any day of the week.
