reminds me of a bare metal ADA howto i saw, when the question came up on
comp.arch about not using ADA runtimes that are only designed for GNU/Linux.

It made my brain hurt. Can one of you more experienced programmers
please explain the joke to me? Is the objective to show us mere mortals
our assumptions of safety, etc. lie upon foundations that would scare us
because our modern programming environments coddle us?

The objective is mostly to provoke laughter at the absurdity of what the
interviewee is doing, since they are going waay beyond what is necessary or
practical to run a program even if you were running it on bare metal: using
#![no_core] is like if you decided to write your own stddef.h or stdint.h
if you were writing in C, or writing your own implementation of the int or
bool classes in Python.
