Rust doesn't help with accessibility its just as easy if not easyer to write c. Its just that when u write bad c u have real serious issues.
Have you used both languages before?
Yeah. I prefer rust but I defiantly had a far easier time learning c and apply my existing programming knowledge. Getting my head around the borrow checker was one hell of a pain in the ass.
What specifically was difficult to understand about the borrow checker? Much of what the borrow checker requires you to do are things that you still need to do in C just without compiler support.
