But you have a choice, you don't have to implement all of C++/Rust.

The beauty of C is that it allows you to pick your level of complexity.




You don't have to use the entirety of C++, either.


No, but that tends to gradually happen all by itself from my experience, even in solo projects. Because it feels stupid writing something yourself when you have access to stdlib. Also, I feel rolling your own stuff in C++ is a major pita in comparison to C, too many rules to memorize for me.
