So it means rust cannot do that. Ok, next.

  It definitely can, I decided not answer that. For example, Microsoft has thrown away all their C code on Pluton CPU firmware and replaced it with Rust. Likewise Google has been shipping Rust on Linux kernel downstream fork on Android for several versions now, regardless of upstream drama. And any recent Windows 11 version runs Rust kernel code, every single time anything on the screen, after the GDI regions handling C kernel code has been rewriten in Rust. The cargo cult that C is the be all, end all of systems programming gets tiresome after a few decades.

    If you think google and microsoft are good examples, good on you :). That said... I have been having seriously mixed signals about this. In the end, I'll have to check that by myself to get a final answer to who is lying here. And there is already an issue with rust: its toolchain cannot statically link libgcc (bug since 2015?!). And it seems rust syntax has the same toxic complexity than the filthy c++ one which would make it a definitive nono for many.

      They definitely are, more than most of us on HN ever dream to achive leaving our mark on the industry.

        They are certainly not... you better cherry pick and get deep into the details... where it lies...
