- jfkebwjsbx 6y agoIt is very common for compilers to be tested using client code. It is a practice that goes back decades. Nowadays with so many open source projects and so much distributed computer power, it is even easier.
- pornel 6y agoWhat makes it easy and powerful for Rust is that ~all Rust projects use Cargo as the build system and test runner, so Crater can really test every Rust project in existence, not just code samples hand-picked into compiler's test suite.
- jfkebwjsbx 6y agoOnly open source projects, which will not be the majority if Rust ends up taking up speed.
