Cyclone, particularly its memory management, was one of the inspirations for Rust. That said, there&#x27;s no way in hell Rust is a C replacement for people sold on C itself. There&#x27;s people that need safe, fast, systems code. Rust can probably handle that. Then, there&#x27;s people that think C is best language or don&#x27;t want to learn something too different. They&#x27;re not switching to Rust under any circumstances. The safer C&#x27;s are useful for those people.<p>Still have to force or pay them to do it as the C zeal is so strong. Yet, the smaller the adjustment, the more likely the uptake. Worked for C and Java vs others that clean-slated things.
