I was following the debate just briefly, but one argument brought up against rust did strike me a bit:
"rust is just like java being a hip language nobody cares about in the future" (I've seen various variants of that one)
Which... is kinda weird, because that tells me those things:
1. you don't know what happens outside your bubble
2. you never bothered learning java
3. you never bothered learning rust
And besides, Java is probably more used in engineering than C.
