The point is: If Rust is supposed to replace as _the_ systems programming language, it needs to be as portable as C. There is no point in arguing what architectures are considered obscure and which are not since there a lot of fields of app

What Rust needs is an alternative, gcc-based implementation similar to gccgo. This will solve the problem immediately and allow Rust to be used on a much greater variety of targets, including obscure targets such as Tricore which are used i

Wind and solar need backup power plants and therefore *CANNOT* replace nuclear power plants.

China alone is building 12 reactors alone and if the US isn’t going to get their act together and stops with that renewables-for-all non-sense, China will be the dominating world power.

Nuclear is the largest source of emission-free electricity in the US and it’s the only one that can be built at scale.

Germany has lots of plants near larger cities. Neckarwestheim NPP, for example, is just about 25 km from the city of Stuttgart and it operated a rather old boiling water reactor at the site until 2011. At this point, only the far more moder
