No one is out there doping their own silicon and writing JS apps to run on it.

Ahem. Right. That would be silly. No one would do that.

(Quick, I'll change the subject!)

I'll...uh... So Rust sure looks nice. Nothing silly going on there.

(Joking aside, I've really never done that. I can't claim I've never done anything similarly silly and wasteful. But I haven't done that, anyway.)

(Edit: yet.)

As I typed it I felt in my bones that someone was going to come along with an example of someone doing exactly that. I kinda hope someone does, I've looked into homegrown silicon and it looks... very difficult and expensive.
