I'm not very familiar with rust but I'm pretty sure it has a runtime. Even C has a runtime.

Unless you're talking about an "environment" eg Node or the like

Indeed Rust has a runtime, I'm not sure why the whole "Rust has no runtime" comes from, I keep seeing it repeated from time to time, but can't find the origin of this, I don't think it's ever been true?

The only thing I can think is that folks are getting confused by stuff like the JRE and Node being called "runtime environments".
