> GC pause ... sufficiently low power hw .. cheap phone

Yeah, but even high-powered hardware can take a "major" hit from a GC pause when your application is extremely latency sensitive.

IMO it would be great to get folks who write the enormous base of existing realtime apps driving critical devices everywhere to sit up and take notice of Rust.

EDIT: I mean to say that many of my colleagues who write realtime software dismiss new languages as including GC baggage by default (because so many do!). So, hey, good that the video calls this out.
