   Unsupported assertions coupled with a lack of engagement with   
   the material points under discussion are not persuasive.  If you   
   disagree with any of my statements, you can engage with the   
   arguments in good faith and provide data.   
      
   Or, if you prefer, how about a comparative study of a decently   
   large program, one version written in C, and the other in Rust?   
   Compare: https://github.com/dancrossnyc/rxv64 and   
   https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public   
      
   Otherwise, I suggest that you buckle up when you get behind the   
   wheel.
