AudaciousArmadillo comments on Moving to rust

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.
