And it taints the whole piece.

"Instead of having to write and then rewrite for each platform, he used Rust’s cross-compilation capability" also does not make a lot of sense.

Well, to be fair, Rust's toolchain "speaks" cross-compilation natively. I haven't found any other toolchain with such a well-designed cross-compilation experience.

The piece seems to have been a bit over-simplified for non-technical readers, though.

Go has superb support for cross-compilation too.
