MISRA C? Cool!

About the design model for programming in Rust, I guess only making the time to try writing something in Rust can answer the question. It is interesting how the steepness of the Rust learning curve could actually be a hook to get people to try it, which is all any well-designed language would need to gain adherents.

Back to critical systems programming, does MISRA C have a "certified" compiler like CompCert C or something? If so, Rust usage in such a niche must be a long way away - even if one could "certify" the Rust compiler code, how would one "certify" the million+ lines of C++ in LLVM!
