Technically, it is a skill issue though, but requires borderline perfection to achieve safe code. It’s still a bad argument and detracts from progress in an area where it’s sorely needed. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that everything unsafe is because the logic used left something exposed where rust has rules in the language the prevents those had coding practices. C is inherently unsafe, it just doesn’t have built in safe guards to keep the dev from using it wrong.

If near perfection is the minimum to achieve a goal, then it can’t be a skill issue, IMO. But I agree with the rest. It’s a terrible argument that keeps getting repeated, not only for C but many other places in the tech world.
