@12bitfloat Serious debate on Rust vs C here are my arguments; C has :

1. Better Syntax
2. Betetr Performance (Compile and runtime)
3. Direct Hardware Access (No strict rules)
4. Lots of codebases use `unsafe` in rs
5. No Borrow Checker Frustrations
6. Established Ecosystem
7. More Control Over Memory
8. Easier to Port & Embed
9. No Heavy Standard Library
10. EASY Manual memory management (that's a pro)
11. Optimal inline assembly
12. Memory-mapped I/O (simpler pointer math)
13. No fat pointers ( slices)
14. Better control over ABI
15. Lighter executables
16. Simple linking (no cargo)
17. Cargo forces u to use GitHub
18. More compiler choices (GCC, Clang, TinyCC, MSVC, ICC, etc)
19. More debugging tools (GDB, Valgrind)
20. Cross-compilation is easier (and there's Zig support)
21. Easier to distribute AND RUN ON WINDOWS
22. Better for baremetal (Rust needs a custom runtime for truly bare-metal execution)
23. Compatible with legacy systems (Rust is too heavy to support some old architectures)
24. Better for microcontroller (no_std/std)
25. Supports every OS(sunOS, solaris, obscure BSDs)
26. No forced updates (cargo updates takes a year and installs I36579+E package)
27. Less strict versioning (new standard broke my old code)
28. Less restrictive aliasing
29. Flexible pointer types (ever heard of Box<T>)
30. No unwarranted type safety (Sometimes you just need a void*)
31. C99 flexible arrays
32. Anonymous structs/unions (less boilerplate than enums)
33. C macros are simpler (please help me rusts' require a mini language at this point)
34. No strict mutability rules
35. Better for hacking/debugging (poke around memory)
36. Better C++ interop (C++ sucks)
37. More lib-friendly (almosts every lib has C bindings)
38. Can use void pointers (void*)
39. Better for writing shared libraries (Rust’s dynamic linking is more complex)
40. No automatic drop semantics (Rust’s Drop trait can introduce performance issues)
41. No forced monomorphization that causes binary bloat
42. Better for real-time applications (No automatic memory management surprises)

MENTION : I'm not clashing or anything, not against the person I'd like to debate with, @12bitfloat, but against the argument (RUST>C)
It's not a war
