Gnu and Rust

Yesterday at 04:17:03

From the Gnu mailing list today:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm happy to announce that the prefered language in the GNU coding
standards, and the GNU maintainer guide, which for many years has been
C and Scheme, has been updated to Rust after just a single vote!

As part of this exciting new move, we ask all GNU maintainers to
update their systems on a daily basis to get all the latest features,
and continually rewrite things in the latest version of Rust.

The first project to have successfully moved to Rust is GNU Emacs,
using the amazing efficiency of LLMs (haLLuciating Machines) we have
optimized to something that can be distributed easily to all computer
users worldwide.

use std::process::Command;
Command::new("ed").args([""]).output().expect("failed to hallucinate requested process")

The next version will have subtle changes in API, and ABI ...
