As a rust fan I can say:
Don't be sorry, cause the code is in C!
Be sorry for what you did in C!I mean, of course it wouldn't be fair to expect everyone to be migrated over yet, but at some point it's going to be an obsolete language. Memory unsafety is a pretty nasty quirk; just one that was previously unavoidable, as far as I know.

Yeah, COBOL went the way of the dodo too.
Exactly. COBOL still gets used in legacy stuff, but at this point you'd have to be either insane or a historical re-enactor to build something new in it.
I've used C more than anything else, for reference.
COBOL is on my to-learn list...
I really want to build and learn to use a medieval-style pole lathe.
