Glad that Rust has been mentioned. After all the more bugs we are able to weed out with the help of smarter compilers the less maintenance work is going to need to be done.
I also imagine it’s going to become gradually harder to find maintainers, because a lot of new devs grow up in the cushioned environment of Java and just don’t want to learn a language where you have to think a lot to even just use the language correctly.
Rust is those cushions for low-level languages and as such a new dev, I’ve really just flung myself at Rust, because I’ve wanted to play around with lower-level stuff, but always shied away from C.

Good point. This was also true for me, I’m only getting more into C now after spending almost 3 years learning lower-level stuff with Rust.
