Rust is suitable for a great deal of what C is used for (extending higher-level languages, writing language-agnostic libraries, embedded development, etc.) but Rust will likely never support as wide a variety of obscure platforms as C does. That said, Rust already supports Linux, OS X, Windows, and Android as first-class citizens, and support for FreeBSD, iOS, PSP, and lots of embedded and ARM platforms is currently provided by the community.

And C remains the linga franca of FFIs so that's there to stay.

I don't really see why a pile of different languages couldn't FFI through C-style interfaces without any of them actually being C, though.

That's pretty cool! I haven't been in on the PSP "scene" in years. Nice to see things are still going on there.

Yeah. Wasn't sure if that's what the abbreviation was for. I miss hacking and making PSP homebrew.
