Don't force me to deal with your shiny language of the day.  Maintaining
multi-language projects is a pain I have no interest in dealing with.
If you want to use something that's not C, be that assembly or rust you
write to C interfaces and deal with the impedence mismatch yourself as
far as I'm concerned.
