There is tons of C software out there that depends on libc that is never going to be rewritten in Rust. Also think about interpreted languages like Python, Ruby, etc. I imagine they all depend on libc. The only real way for Redox to gain adoption is through cross platform compatibility.
- imtringued 9y agoDoes the rust compiler depend on libc?
- Sean1708 9y agoPresumably. Rust programs certainly do.
- steveklabnik 9y agoThe compiler does. Rust programs don't inherently depend on libc; it's libstd that does. Build without the standard library, no libc required.
