Snark aside, even if a memory-safe C dialect were possible, I'm not sure it's what we would want. Because if you have to manually migrate code to a new language, why not fix other problems in C while you're at it?

C++ can compile to C? Does that provide a pathway for c2rust to translate C++ programs to Rust as well?

Is it true that C++ can compiles to C ? I thought this stopped being true a long time ago ?

The real problem with C isn't even C: C is in every way a perfectly reasonable product of its time. The real, often-ignored issue is the widespread (but wrong) belief that there are *any* actual technical reasons for it to have simply stopped evolving as a language decades ago.

Some of us however just kept using Pascal forever, and now enjoy a pretty dang featureful language with an entirely self-sustaining compiler that competes with GCC as far as cross-platform-ness in the form of Free Pascal.
