rust is still a non starter in some niche embedded applications (way too big). i still write c and assembly constantly.

This produces a 137 byte binary. Obviously AMD64 isn't used in embedded, but I've seen ARM ones that are in the ~256 range.

It's all in how you use it. Of course, if you don't care about binary sizes, they can get large, but that's very different than actually paying attention to what you're doing.
