The "Rust support" is kind of worthless though. It's forced no_std and you're limited to a C core library made specifically for systemd. I don't see why any Rust dev would take this as an invitation to contribute to systemd.

    rust is the current new kid on the block and there's always a hobbyist or 2 around to give it a try.

    I love Rust, but no_std is an entirely different realm. Normally, no_std is a sensible requirement for embedded systems, but running on a full OS, being limited to no_std and a niche C library feels pretty bad and pointless to me.
