> Either way, you're not selling C to me as a language to embark upon a major project with.
Sounds about right.
I dearly love C, but it's time to move on. Languages like Rust seem to solve most of the major pitfalls while not sacrificing on speed.

If it is the former free to use whatever language you choose. If it is the latter, can you please keep your opinion as just that.
I believe we are all adults here and quite capable of making judgment calls.
Rust has some interesting features and lots of other languages too. No need for the drive by.
I'm not sure how much more diplomatically I could have phrased my previous post. If mentioning a language as one possible modern alternative ("languages like Rust") is enough to set you off, perhaps you need to reconsider who's falling short of adulthood here.
What you said is it is about time we moved on from C and suggested Rust.
That seems like your own subjective opinion. Which is fine of course, each to their own.
Personally I will continue to use whatever language makes sense for the job no matter what it might be.
Happy to take one for the team if that stance doesn't work for you, I'm not the one here passively aggressively proselytizing.
And thank you for confirming that by the way.
