Tim Chase@jpmens something about this saddens me. I remember Turbo Pascal running blazingly fast on my parents' 286 with 640KB of memory and a slow 30MB spinning-rust HDD. A quick web search says it needed less than 512KB for the full IDE+compiler, and about 256KB for just the command-line compiler.
That Rust would die with an out-of-memory error in a world where computers have GBs of RAM and mindbogglingly faster CPUs/disks…the soul weeps.
