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.
The thing is that "learning C" means "I can write C code that compiles and might be full of bugs", whereas "learning Rust" means "I can write Rust code that compiles and has a small number of bugs". It's not apples-to-apples.
It's like saying "I found it easier to learn primary school maths than I did to learn a physics degree".
