If you're running Windows 11, you have Rust running in your kernel. Look it up.

Someone else posted statistics that show Firefox being 10% Rust, but I'm not sure it makes sense to include HTML and Python and JavaScript in the comparison. If you compare Rust against C/C++, it's 20%

Who runs Windows?

There is no such language as C/C++. I presume you mean the sum of C and C++, and that you omit external libraries from the tally.

"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX."

Mozilla vendors their dependencies. They're counted.
