Those of us who have always known about less dangerous 'system' languages (Pascal probably being the most popular) lament the fact that so much code got written in C instead.
It wasn't inevitable. It was preventable! It just didn't happen that way for reasons which are largely historical.
I don't work for the Rust Evangelism Strike Force, my main project is written in (as little) C (as possible), but I beg anyone who has a choice: use something else! Rust is... fine, Zig is promising. Ada still works!
Writing out the set {Python, Pascal, Algol, Rust, Go} tempts me to say uncharitable things about your understanding of the profession, but I accept you were just being snarky so I'll just gesture in the direction of how $redacted that is.
