Still remains to be seen if a potential rust ABI can avoid becoming a chain to the wall the way the C++ ABI seems to have become. When a lot of C++ers apparently agree with "I'm tired of paying for an ABI stability I'm not using" it's not so clear it would really be a boon to Rust.
That said
no_stdappears to be what people go to for the lean Rust.And a lot of us are happy not having to juggle shared dependencies, but instead having somewhat fat but self-contained binaries. It's part of the draw of Go too; fat binaries come up as a way to avoid managing e.g. Python dependencies across OS-es. With Rust and Go you can build just one binary per architecture/libc and be done with it.
