Mhmm, I'm not sure whether this is sufficient – how will you submit a
proposal if you only know half of the story?  Rust is a functional
programming language that differs *a lot* from C!

In other words, to write a good proposal you have to get acquainted
with Rust *right now*.

Well, write a proposal :-)  If you have questions please send them to
the list.
