The cost might not be negligible for everyone? Rust is being used and is designed to be able to be used everywhere from top of the line PCs, to servers to microcontrollers to virtual machines in the browser. Not all tradeoffs are acceptable

It's quite simple. The EU can't tell member states how much to tax and even if you cut out all of its budget you'd save maybe a percentage point or two in taxes On the other hand the EIB (which is anyway not directly controll

VAT applies equally to domestic and foreign companies. It's a tax. Tariffs and barriers to trade are measures meant to incentivize production in the country imposing them. That's what free trade is meant to get rid of, that's
