Something similar is now about Rust and who calls it C replacement. Sometimes, the intention to simplify things leads to complicating.

That's an interesting thing to say about this post, considering that Linus has famously backed the use of Rust in the Linux kernel.

Maybe he understood that everyone who would write the Linux kernel except him had to use a memory safe language so as not to break everything. But in the Linux kernel repo there is no Rust code yet: https://github.com/torvalds/linux. :)
