C didn't fully replace asm
Asm is still a language that is used. If we're talking about fully replacing a language, than yes, you cannot have it in your toolchain.
- Ygg2 10y agoRight, and C is widely used/successful language. As a poet once said - "Perfect is the enemy of good". Rust never aimed to replace all of C/C++ forever, everyhwere. That's nigh impossible. Much in the same way, it's impossible for ASM to replace machine code or 386 processors to replace Commodore 64 or Analytical engine. There will always be some shop that programs in ASM/C/C++, like there are shops that program in COBOL. Rust point was - to replace C/C++ in domains that require safety and speed.
