I doubt it. I am a big fan of Rust's memory safety, but it's not just memory safety that draws me to Rust. Having a strong, featureful type system is also a big plus for me, and even if Fil-C could someday magically compile any program or library without modification, and its performance trade offs could be mitigated, I'd still write Rust, because C is miserable to write. (And I say this as a 25+ year C programmer.)
