I guess not rust itself, but people telling them to switch to rust over and over again. They use a lot of assembly magic to get good performance, they aren't in C land.

You can embed Assembly in Rust. A lot of low-level Rust projects embed Assembly.

Totally, though I wouldn't bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into

Although if you're doing it a lot, you've basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.

By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven't checked in a while.

Bro, just use Rust, bro.

We get it, Rust can suck your dick... and more!

You can Programm microcontrollers with rust, so while rust may not be able to suck your dick directly, you can build a fully automated memory safe dicks suck in go machine with rust.

Isn't buttplug.io written in rust? You can literally have it suck your dick

I often joked, that if South Park made an episode about Rust, the compiler would work with a USB connected dildo, that you must suck every time you want to declare a variable instead of a constant, or go unsafe, also would feature a Cult of Java developers, that argue Java isn't OOP, because you can just suck off the dick of the compiler in the same way, and use static functions and not have a complicated class hierarchy.

I don't see where I said any of the words you just quoted. Impressive if Rust can suck a dick I don't have though, I'll give them that.
