They'd still both rather use C++ than each other though

Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either
I started with c++ so does c really has advantages over c++ ?
And yeah same, Rust seems to be pretty cool too, at some point I'm gonna try it...
I started with C++ too, and then ended up finding a job writing firmware pretty much all in C. There really hasn’t been anything we’ve run into that’s made us consider switching to C++; being able to (and needing to) have complete control over your memory means you can do some pretty fancy stuff with the tiny amounts of memory on our ASICs.
We’ve been eyeballing switching to rust a little bit, but really only for other applications; the root of our main code base is over 25 years old at this point and a rewrite would take a Herculean effort.
