They said "unlikely" not "impossible". I guess it is unlikely because no one is willing to put in the massive resources needed to port Rust to an archaic platform.
Here's a link about porting the Rust compiler to the Haiku OS: http://rust-on-haiku.com/wiki/PortingRust http://rust-on-haiku.com/wiki/PortingRust
Please note that Haiku is among the supported OSs of the LLVM compiler framework while OS/2 isn't. So unless you want to re-create a Rust compiler from scratch you would first need to port LLVM to OS/2.
- mkj 8y agomrustc might be an option to avoid LLVM.
- mhd 8y agoYeah, the backend not being available is certainly a showstopper, thanks. GCC being ported to every silicon-based system under the sun does blind one to the fact that that isn't necessarily true for its rivals.
- _verandaguy 8y agoIt probably helps that GCC was around when OS/2 and other now-archaic systems were relevant.
