I’ve never played with Rust, but could Rust have been viable on early 70s hardware? Had Rust existed, could Unix have been originally written in Rust?

I will answer 'Yes' to this the moment we have a viable mainstream OS written in Rust. There are people working towards this so with some luck we will be able to see what the brave new world of a whole system running production software built in Rust looks like.
