Great, because rust is not yet supported on all of the platforms that FireFox itself runs on (nevermind packaged), and that would put many in an unfortunate position.
- steveklabnik 10y agoWhich ones are you concerned about? I personally haven't paid attention to the exact diff here. In the past, we've explicitly added platform support for this reason, Windows XP comes to mind.
- binarycrusader 10y agoWell, LLVM doesn't work well on SPARC yet, so anyone on a SPARC-based system would be affected (yes, I know the number of people running FireFox on SPARC is relatively small, although it certainly numbers in the thousands). And until recently, as another example, rust didn't quite work yet on Solaris (amd64); thankfully, a community member stepped up and has been actively working on that port.
- steveklabnik 10y agoCool thanks! As always, so much work to do...
