There is some C in the gitlab repo? https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/-/graphs/main/charts https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/-/graphs/main/c

  Rust already depends on LLVM

    Does it depend on clang? Because LLVM can't compile C by itself.

    So ? The fact that rustc compiler uses a component written in C++ doesn't mean that even pure Rust projects have a C++ dependency. Follow any language's bootstrap chain and you'll find C somewhere (or a bootstrapping purists telling you that didn't properly bootstrap the thing), making the "some of the FOOLANG compiler is written in BARLANG" argument pointless. You don't need a C or C++ compiler (not even Clang) to compile Arti. The rustc packages typically use a vendored version of LLVM.

  On single C file, 159 lines compared to 83000 lines of Rust. It's used to generate a cert for unittests, not sure why that's not done in Rust.
