Do we run on any systems that don't support Go? Rust?

The list supported by go 1.24.4 seams to be just [1]:
- aix
- dragonfly bsd
- freebsd
- illumos
- linux
- macos
- ms windows
- netbsd
- openbsd
- plan 9
- solaris

While rust (nightly) seems to support [2]:
=== tier 1
- linux
- macos
- ms windows
=== tier 2 w/ tool
- freebsd
- illumos
- netbsd
- solaris
=== tier 2 w/o tools
- fuschia
- redox
=== tier 3
- hermit
- qnx
- nuttx
- teeos
- trusty
- vxworks
- haiku
- gnu hurd
- lynx os
- hermit

I have not heard of most of those at tier 3 of rust support.

I don't think you missed or forgot anything significant.

Drink enough to forget the notion. j/k

If I were converting it to go I would start at main() and essentially peel 
functions out to be ported to golang.

Well, in my head cannon we would be porting it piecemeal instead of all at 
once so signs point to yes.
