It would be far more convincing if the C example was able to be compiled with -Wall -Wextra -Werror.
The strawman C code posted is laughable and illogical.
P.s for rust shills, where is promised freedom from borrow checker that MIR would supposedly bring?
I still remember this from 2016:
More precise type checking. Today’s Rust compiler imposes some artificial restrictions on borrowing, restrictions which largely stem from the way the compiler currently represents programs. MIR will enable much more flexible borrowing, which will in turn improve Rust’s ergonomics and learning curve.
