What he doesn't mention is that compared to other languages many 
of the algorithms and programming models will not work in Rust 
and you have rethink them often making them more complicated and 
slower. Therefore I think Rust is a bad fit for "system 
programming".

The entire talk is about evangelizing Rust contrary to what he 
says. He also says he constantly have to add more stuff into the 
language in order to make work better as a systems programming 
language which kind of contradicts the idea that Rust is suitable 
for system programming.

There are other languages that can do anything C can without any 
changes to the language.
