      Reimplements in C

      Compiles in 5 Minutes (you accidentally did it on the RPi Zero W, on a PC it’s done in 30 secs)

          Segmentation fault (core dumped)

          change code so it no longer segfaults

          still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

          everybody dies

      I write rust on a meh computer alot and have never had compile times be that bad (at least not for debug). The target dir is massive though.
