alt Hacker News> Well it's certainly not worse than c, and it's hard to argue it's as bad, so...
Except in regards to having a proper standard (the standard from Ferrocene has significant issues), and to the size of the language and how easy it is to implement a compiler for.
There are a lot of differences and trade-offs.
This would be a fantastic argument against rust for the m68k or some other embedded architecture. But we live in a world with an actual rust compiler for basically all architectures tor serves. & obviously the c standard can't save c from itself.
