    This could work in the reverse too.

    “I like Rust” C++ programmers proceeding to tell you memory safety is just a "skill issue

        D would work better than either C++ or Rust, since C++ devs not liking it due to its memory safety features and the built-n garbage collector, and D and Rust have a kind of a fandom rivalry for D having a bit weaker memory safety (no borrow checker, @safe is opt in as of now), no immutability by default (which made one of the few corporate sponsors to leave D in favor of Rust), etc.

          D is named wrong. K&R were following the design of BCPL. Their first language in the series was called B, and then C. The next one should be called P.
