This feels welcome to me. I tend to think a language needs multiple independent implementations that only share the same source language spec, in order to really tear a clear spec apart from the quirks of any particular implementation.
I find Rust (the spec, though also the implemenration) quite safe and practical (a balance). It deserves some independent implementations to secure a long and stable future.
On the other hand, I want to use it on non-ARM embedded platforms, where current cross-compilation through C produces unusably big binaries. I dream this might increase hope for that, too, eventually.

It deserves some independent implementations to secure a long and stable future. Where is the Rust spec? Unless something happened really quickly that I was not aware of there is only the implementation.

- thesuperbigfrog 6y agoThank you! I look forward to the day when there is a spec, but I was surprised to see it mentioned and was wondering if I missed something big.
