Rust seems to be, like Python, trying to ingratiate itself into the basic
running of the system, not just be a peripheral "scripting language".

 
Requiring 2 seperate compilers to build anything is an absurdity.

From my experience it's no "absurdity" but actual (sensible) normality
to use multiple compilers and other software generators in SW-projects.

Umm no, it really isn't. At least not for the actual compilers. Boilerplate
code generators sure.
