To me, that C line is (a) crystal clear, and (b) elegantly describes what I want to happen in a concise way.

The three lines of rust, by comparison, are ugly, long-winded and far-and-away harder to grok.

That’s probably because I’ve been an embedded systems engineer, and if you think C is terse, you ought to try verilog… but then I wouldn’t have the temerity to suggest that something that works well for me is how everyone else should do it.
