So what are you complaining about? Do you want to use runtime libs or not? It sounds like you're dissatisfied either way.

It's about the context - rewriting ton of code that is in C libraries right now. If that had to be done using Rust without its runtime libs it is an huge disadvantage to solve the issue at hand.
