Wow that's a great analysis!

Yeah I essentially agree. I'm sure there are still plenty of good cases for C, depending on project size, experience of the engineers, integration with existing libraries, target platform, etc. But it definitely seems like Rust would be the better option in scenarios where there's not some a priori thing that strongly skews toward or forces C.
