Can't wait to find the forum of fighter pilots bitching about Rust vs. C.

Clearly they would choose raw x86_64 assembly for its superior performance profile.

x86-64 is very non-deterministic - way too many issues can impact individual thread performance. Better go with a barrel processor design.

Have you heard of Spectre?! The whole architecture is crap and should be scrapped in favor of Acorn RISC.
