I love the argument about c having type safety with the little side-swipe at rust. “AcTuAlLy C does have type safety! You just have to jump through the following 50 hoops to get it!”. I’m an outsider to both C and Rust but it’s still funny.
It is pretty funny that C’s type system can be described pretty differently based on the speaker’s experience. The parable of the Blub language comes to mind.

People that say that are thinking of strong typed languages instead of type safe languages. There’s a difference. And it looks like you’re on to it.
