Rust is absolutely not faster or easier than C. It’s safer but that’s it.
The issue with the rust utils license is that its MIT. Which many people see as vastly inferior to GPL. This is a very big deal to people who believe in the GPL.
I think responding to borrow checker errors is easier than debugging some random segfault
Also I don’t separate the language and it’s build system. I have to use it to write the language it’s an entire kit.
Part of c/cpp problem is it’s build system and dependency story just serves to get in my way instead of letting me write code. The syntax is irrelevant when I’m fucking with some auto conf script because the version on my machine is 0.01 versions different.
When i’m in the most unnecessary competition and my opponent is rust coreutils:

GNU Coreutils have worked very well for so long so replacing it is totally pointless unless memory safety has crippled the project somehow till now.
Also I really hate that project for another reason - License

It is definitely easier.
Don’t try and tell me cargo is not easier than fucking around with the C/CPP build slop I’ve had to screw around with over the years.
The coreutils license is bullshit but let’s not pretend languages have not improved in 50 years.
Cargo != Rust
There is no word in which the borrow checker is easier to deal with than C.

Depends on what you mean by “easier”. It is easier to write safe code in Rust.

Rust is web scale!
