Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?

  Rust programs written entirely in Rust

Mustang is one way to take care of the tiny amount of "C" that runs before main().

  Raw bindings to platform APIs for Rust

  

The libc crate exposes system C APIs in Rust code, and is used by the compiler and standard library. It also does not contain any C code. See for yourself.

  Cranelift based backend for rustc

  

Cranelift is a pure-rust alternative to the LLVM or GCC codegen. It's not aiming for the same runtime performance as those (that would take stupidly long just to replicate what LLVM/GCC already do), but it compiles much faster, making it great for debug builds.

  An absolutely horrible idea

Then again, maybe you're right, asm counts as rust, just like C/C++, python, spirv, visual basic, shell, and lua :)

  Safe Rust bindings to POSIX-ish APIs

  

The rustix project claims to use raw syscalls (and vDSO calls) on linux and provides more memory / type safety compared to the libc API.
