Arrr, me hearty! Ye be askin' for a simple piece o' code in Rust, peppered with pirate comments. Here be a wee program that prints a hearty greeting:

fn main() {
    // Avast, me hearties! We start our voyage here.
    let greeting = "Ahoy, matey! Welcome aboard!";

    // Yo ho ho! We print our greeting to the open sea!
  println!("{}", greeting);
}

Now ye be havin' a taste o' pirate-infused Rust code! If ye be havin' any more requests or need further assistance, feel free to speak up, and I'll be at yer service!

The standard lib is statically linked, so there will be a higher baseline binary size. This means that yes, a hello world project may be 10mb unstripped but a considerably more complicated project could in turn be 11mb unstripped. Aka it doesn't matter much in practice.
