Rust sucks. It was made by Big Tech (Mozilla) and aggressively
advertised as a replacement for C. There are numerous "replacements"
for Unix tools rewritten in Rust, all following the same "mainstream
dev" pattern.
C needs no replacement. C is a mature, standardized language (unlike
Rust), tightly intertwined with Unix and Unix-like systems as described
by POSIX.
Pascal is a language tailored for introductory level programming. It
was used in high school and freshman university courses here in the
late 90s and early 2000s. I don't know of any examples of serious
software written in Pascal.
Ada was already mentioned in your previous thread that I linked above,
as an alternative to Rust if one cares about "safe" languages. It was a
heavily extended version of Pascal made for the use of USAF.

Safety is overrated. The more "safe" a language is, the less it can do.
The more the programmer is "protected" from "shooting himself in the
foot", the less control he has over the program. The most powerful
language is assembler/machine code, and C is very close.
