Rust Evangelism Strike Force Assembles

The Rust mob is angry because they just spent an hour appeasing the borrow checker, only to see a C dev casually introduce three new CVEs with a single `strcpy`

When you enable `#![deny(unsafe_code)]` in Cargo.toml, apparently it also spawns a real-time riot controller for any C compiler spotted nearby

After 20 years of debugging segfaults and buffer overflows, you realize the Rust evangelists aren't wrong about memory safety... but you still reach for C when you need to write a kernel module because sometimes you need to live dangerously and actually ship before the heat death of the universe

The irony here is that while Rust programmers righteously brandish their borrow checker like torches against C's 'unsafe' practices, they conveniently forget that Rust's standard library, compiler toolchain, and LLVM backend are all... written in C and C++. It's the ultimate 'standing on the shoulders of giants while throwing rocks at their feet' scenario. Plus, half these 'angry mob' Rust evangelists are probably one `unsafe` block away from manually dereferencing raw pointers themselves when performance actually matters

Rust devs form a torch‑lit parade against C - then FFI into libc because the SLA outranks ideology

Rust devs with torches: because nothing quells a use-after-free like a lifetime-scoped witch hunt

The Rust mob always wins the architecture review - right up to the 2003 vendor C SDK, where we bless an FFI shim, forfeit the guarantees, and keep the 3am PagerDuty anyway
