Programming languages tend to polarize, and Rust is by far no exception. Whether it will stick around and grow as an alternative for the lower levels or not — time will tell. In the meantime, if you're curious about the language and its low-level abilities yourself, [phil-opp] has written a series of blog posts on building your own little bare metal kernel in Rust.
Starting from the basics, [phil-opp] describes in detail the set-up and build process to create a standalone executable that won't be linked against the Rust standard library. From here he proceeds to build a simple operating system kernel that prints a good old Hello World via VGA output — QEMU emulation included. And of course, there is a GitHub repository with all of the source code.

Chronic programming = chronic sitting = death!

Chronic programming = not getting paid = poverty = starvation = death.
I program on the floor because I can't afford a chair.

That just means you're bad at
1) programming
2) marketing your skills
3) both of above

I'm on my "death bed" then. 'Cause I find it more comfortable to program than a chair.
(True, I still need to use a chair at the office :( )
Other than that, couple it with smoking and you are good: each hour you take a stroll to the smoking place, no longer sitting.
