About the cost of skipping the libc: Do you mean a human/development cost ? Other than that, what would rust lose for not using the libc for system calls ?

- dbaupp 10y agosteveklabnik was not saying that it costs Rust to avoid libc, he was saying that "calling C has high overhead" (i.e. the main underlying reason for avoiding libc) is not something Rust can do, given its goals. This also means there's not nearly as much reason to put the effort into reimplementing the libc abstractions on every platform.
