That invariably leads to bitrot and low maintainability. It's one among many reasons why I don't use Rust.

I don't see how that leads to bitrot, or low maintainability.

You have the same issue with C, no? C is upgrading versions, compilers have changed, hardware evolves and somethings in the past aren't supported as well anymore.

[megous]

Not really. Not in the scale of my C dev life, which has been 20 years so far.

[orochimaaru]

I did C and C++ till about 2010 or so. The major platform which I did dev for (hp ux) is no longer supported.

Neither have we with Rust.
