Holy shit, Rustc (via Ferrocene) being ASIL-D certified...

Holy shit, Rustc (via Ferrocene) being ASIL-D certified is a huge deal! That’s the highest level of verification for automotive applications, which enables it to be used in stuff like braking, steering, and other critical vehicle systems.

I had absolutely no idea what any of the standards were about. But now that I understand what they are, that seems huge! Amazing work by @ferrous!

Oh even more fun: are you by any chance planning to build a chemical plant? Or perhaps a nuclear one?

Well, if you are you’ll probably want your control systems to be as reliable as possible, which is what the SIL standard is about. Apparently Ferrocene is SIL4 certified, which is the highest possible level!
