No, that would have resulted in a linker error, not random undefined behaviour
But industry is still working with a fifty year old language written for systems where 32 kilobytes were a lot of memory.
Especially for embedded and DSP stuff there are so many architectures that aren’t even supported by the Rust compiler. And on those systems 32 kiB of RAM is sometimes a lot of memory.
These niches still exist but they get rapidly smaller every year. Because:
Cheap hardware gets more powerful
Demands rise… even some electric toothbrushes are networked now
Rust support for embedded devices is rapidly expanding
Plus:
In some domains, security is becoming a real issue
