I don't love Rust (but I find it interesting, even though I never bothered learning it) but can't you admit that no namespaces, header files, terrible dependency management and the shitty type system is something that a shitload of languages have already solved?
I loved C, it's the language I know the best, but claiming it's the best language is clearly dishonest in my opinion.
