Why do people keep lumping Rust into the category of a "C++ alternative". Rust is a C alternative and can be used places that C can but C++ cannot. i.e the linux kernal and baremetal silicon (C++ can be used in the embedded but I've never heard of it being used without modification for that environment).

Further he seems to claim that Jai is a C alternative when it's explicitly described by it's creator as a C++ alternative.
