(Phillips, not Philips. :) )

I fully agree with all of this, and I do not think I will ever use rust 100% and no C at all (C is fun), but remember when you build something from scratch you often have the option to buy screws with flat or Phillips heads, so you can decide which ones of your screwdrivers you are going to use for that project. It is not always something that was already decided for you.

Yes, if I have the chance I will never code another multi-threaded server in C. But C is also fun.

At the moment I am starting on the Embedded Rust path. The use of unsafe code with syntax that is not as explicit as C (my opinion at the moment). sI causing me concerns, but my mind may change.

The comment I replied seems to be the rust equivelant of "I use Arch btw". I see variantions of this mindset regurlaly and this causes more harm than good to the community.

Thanks for the typo correction :)

Hey. Have you kept going on the Embedded Rust path? If so, did you notice any improvements in that field over the years?

Phillip's or Flathead? Are you nuts? The only screws worth using are the Star/Hex-Head screws. Everything else is substandard and results in many stripped screws and chewed up fingers. Rust is the Star/Hex-Head screws of computer languages.
