For what it's worth, inline assembly has been available in Rust ~forever, it's just not in Rust 1.0, the stable release, so a lot of people missed the existence features like this.

On the flip side, Rust 1.0 doesn't have any of the problems you describe. Rust 1.0 code will work just fine in Rust 1.300 when it comes out in 2050, provided that the language is still around. And inline assembly will end up in a stable release as soon as that promise can be made about it.
