    I guess not rust itself, but people telling them to switch to rust over and over again. They use a lot of assembly magic to get good performance, they aren’t in C land.

        Totally, though I wouldn’t bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into

        Although if you’re doing it a lot, you’ve basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.

        By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven’t checked in a while.

        Bro, just use Rust, bro.

        We get it, Rust can suck your dick… and more!

          You can Programm microcontrollers with rust, so while rust may not be able to suck your dick directly, you can build a fully automated memory safe dick-sucking-machine with rust.

          I don’t see where I said any of the words you just quoted. Impressive if Rust can suck a dick I don’t have though, I’ll give them that.
