    I don’t think I’ve seen more vocal sponsors of any language except Rust. With the high barrier to entry and relatively greater developer effort, I am curious to see what place it occupies in over the long term.

      I think Rust applications requires lower developer effort than C. C is a simpler language, but that means more work for developers to build their applications on it. The “rewrite everything in Rust” thing does seem weird though. I personally like the more elegant languages like Haskell, but I guess those aren’t really systems programming languages.
