Rust is the New C

THE 70s MUST HAVE BEEN A WILD TIME TO BE ALIVE, right?
I often daydream about the lives of people who picked up C just at this perfect time, right at the start.
After they learned this relatively small language, they could then have spent DECADES writing JUST C, one language for all programs, on all devices.
I wonder if you can see where I'm going with this?
