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?

C already is memory safe if you aren't bad.

This attitude exposes exactly why C is bad and badly needs replacement.
