You can run Rust on atmegas. It doesn't get much more small, but it can get a lot more exotic. https://github.com/avr-rust/rust https://github.com/avr-rust/rust

But then you're forced to use the rust compiler. Sqlite can be included in any project that can use a decent C compiler.

  Why would you be forced to use the Rust compiler? You can generate C headers for a static Rust image.
  - jeffreyrogers 9y ago
    It brings the Rust compiler in as a dependency. I'm not saying you have to use Rust for the rest of the project, but it complicates things in a way that having C source code that you drop into your project doesn't.

      I think you two are talking at cross-purposes. You are correct that building the project would require Rust. Your parent is correct that, with a pre-built binary, you don't need any Rust-specific stuff installed to make this work. Building from source is usual, of course, given the lack of a stable ABI.

Ok, then it leaves us a performance question, right?
- steveklabnik 9y ago
  If Rust performance diverges significantly from C, then it's a bug. Bugs do happen! We take bug reports, please file them.

    but the point is to have maximum performance. This is most deployed database in the world, the overall impact is incredible. It is not about "significantly" slower.
    - steveklabnik 9y ago
      I said "diverges significantly", that comes on both plus and minus. Right now, Rust can be faster sometimes, but is also slower sometimes. It just depends.

  No it means there should _not_ be a performance question. It does however mean that there is an issue with supported platforms. Rust has support for all the major platforms already, but C is probably the most widely supported language in existence at all.
