When I compiled that program, the executable was around 10MB. I wrote the same program in C, and the executable was 15kB. That's about 3 orders of magnitude difference. Is Rust really 1000 times better than C? :-)
I wrote it in C and compiled it for an ATtiny13 and it was 162 bytes. That includes the code to initialize the microcontroller and a bit banged transmit only UART to actually output the text.
just goes to show: size is relative :-)
