JavaScript runtimes will written in C++, and will run on OS's written in C.

"Built on" is the wrong phrase to use here, because the actual foundations aren't Rust or JavaScript and will never be.

Maybe Linux won’t switch over, but it’s not unlikely that Apple would consider Rust for portions of their kernel, given that they only have to support a limited number of devices, and have a strong LLVM culture already. Googles Fuschia OS also uses Rust heavily.

C++ is slowly but surely displacing C on the OS side too. The field is obviously full of, hmm, time-proven code but new project tends to use C++.

I've been hearing this for 30 years, and it hasn't happened yet.

Wake me up when it happens.
