• Rust is not a good C replacement | Drew DeVault\u2019s Blog — The kitchen sink approach doesn\u2019t work. Rust will eventually fail to the \u201cjack of all trades, master of none\u201d problem that C++ has. Wise languages designers start small and stay small. Wise systems programmers extend this philosophy to designing entire systems, and Rust is probably not going to be invited. I understand that many people, particularly those already enamored with Rust, won\u2019t agree with much of this article. But now you know why we are still writing C, and hopefully you\u2019ll stop bloody bothering us about it.
