Rust is definitely not new and niche anymore, its the most popular language in the StackOverflow surveys.
A C book feels dated at this point, there are very strong recommendations that C is to be phased out in favor of memory safe languages. But people have been signalling the death of C for decades, so it probably has a few more years left.
A good C book on how to write memory safe C would be useful. Its been tried many times, but newcomers to C still seem to struggle with allocation and freeing, and thread safety.
