Still, it implies C fails, because you don't get POSIX on all available platforms.

I think the definition is meaningless. Rust spends huge amount of resources to test itself and its surrounding ecosystem on tier 1 platforms.

I'm fairly certain regex from c++ std will run like crap, if at all on something with 4MB of RAM.

Except the small detail that C's POSIX support is much wider than Rust's tier 1 platforms.

I am fairly certain that without profiling and defining a test configuration for a set of specific C++ compilers / standard C++ library I won't assert anything about std::regex performance with 4 MB of RAM.

Perhaps. But you're comparing a 26 year old standard for a 47 year old language, to a language that's been stable for 4 years.
