I used to love C but it's so hard to accept the possibility I'm going to compile something totally unsafe after using Rust. Do you think Rust's ecosystem isn't going to amount to anything, or that it's just a meme, or what do you intend with the Rick and Morty analogy?

I think Rust kind of aged C.

It happens when some new band push the needle for a genre, its only when this happens that the "modern" stuff start to look old.

C is getting deprecated while C++ will need to catch up somehow (if there's a way).

This is actually a good effect of Rust, making people think more that safety is important and that its possible to have more of that in languages without a GC.

(Sorry for hijacking the question, that was not directed at me, but this is a good debate so i couldn't resist)
