I use C when I believe in memory safety
I have a similar issue. I like the memory safety in Rust, but I don&#x27;t like Rust: it limits my productivity for two reasons. 1. In order to reach memory safety it add abstractions that don&#x27;t make programming simpler, but harder. 2. It is a language that started to enter the slippery slope of too many ad-hoc features. And given that I work alone, I try to write safe C code as much as I can (it is impossible to reach perfection, anyway), and avoid Rust as much as I can. What I will do more, however, is using more other safe languages when the C low-level control is not needed. Go is a good option, for my tastes.<p>P.S. I see in realtime, reloading the post, the number of downvotes received (the score goes up and then ways down with the downvotes). Another problem is the Rust community. It has a very peculiar way to stay in this world.
