I was responding to a general claim. In any case, I certainly disagree that C is suitable in 2025 for the vast majority of possible use-cases. For fun? Sure, but not for shipping code you want to rely on.

Obviously the code isn't going anywhere, and obviously we DO have reliable code we've built with C. But acting like C and Rust deliver equivalent value is simply farcical: you choose C for rapid development and cheap devs (or some other niche concern, like using an obscure embedded arch), and you choose rust to solve the problems that C introduced.
