Rust

More context

Rust is showing up across several very different projects, from Linux kernel support on IBM s390 mainframes to a Bun rewrite and embedded firmware comparisons with C. The mix suggests continued momentum for Rust in systems programming, while community chatter also highlights smaller hands-on projects like building an SVM from scratch in Rust.
