Even if Rust becomes almost as complex than C++ (which may be necessary to be able to move all low level code base from C/C++ to Rust), the world becomes a safer place by not having so many memory corruption bugs while being CPU/memory friendly. I really appreciate the fast pace the Rust team has and hope for this transition to start ASAP (though features are still missing for big code bases, like distributed compilation).

Yeah well, that assumes that everybody will start using Rust no matter how complex the language becomes.

There is another way, which is how all surviving systems programming languages got their job.

A major OS vendor states "if you want to target my OS here is the language".

And a C compiler writer would reply "hold my beer" :-P.

(talking as someone who was working on a C-to-C# transpiler for PSMobile to port my C game engine to it before Sony axed it :-P)

Most likely using a C compiler writen in C++. :)
