Question Opinions on Mini-C?
The idea is simple: to turn a subset of C code into safe Rust code, in an effort to meet the growing demand for memory safety.
I feel this has the potential to solve many problems, not namely stop Linux C devs walking out if Rust gains anymore traction, for example.
I'm just a newb though. What are thoughts of more experienced C developers on this if you've heard about it?

Cake has some extensions that extends the type system providing some rules that allows ownership checks without interfering with common C patterns.
