I love C myself and spend my days writing C. But we already have plenty of generators written in C in the systemd codebase. This is about looking for new options, with easier memory management, easier IO, easier error handling. Rust is a nice modern language with a lot of promise. It seems well suited for the purpose of low-level systems programming where one needs fairly close control over IO error handling.
