I hope this is indicative of plans to revive the rust gcc frontend. The existence of that frontend was a major plus for the language as a stable standard.

- Manishearth 10y agoI don't think it is, this was an effort by Tom Tromey and me on the side, not something the gcc/gdb community decided to do. Also, without a stable abi I'd caution against having a separate frontend. The language "standard" isn't ready yet, either; it doesn't exist as a single document.
- pjmlp 10y agoA stable standard will only really happen when people stop using nightly for what should be common stuff. Latest example being Spyglass that was recently posted in HN.
