Rust is different as there is no runtime.
Yes, instead we pay with requiring supercomputers and 10 hour compile times to process billion of those “atomic architecture”.
I'm not very familiar with rust but I'm pretty sure it has a runtime. Even C has a runtime.
Unless you're talking about an "environment" eg Node or the like
Indeed Rust has a runtime, I'm not sure why the whole "Rust has no runtime" comes from, I keep seeing it repeated from time to time, but can't find the origin of this, I don't think it's ever been true?
but it still increases compile time, attack surface area, bandwidth use, etc.
I’m assuming you’re referring to an async runtime like tokio. In my option the dependency problem exists with or without tokio. Tokio is probably one of the best dependencies
