This was interesting to read:
> Such ecosystems [Rust] come with incredible costs. For instance, rust cannot even compile itself on i386 at present time because it exhausts the address space.
- zozbot234 6y agoThis may be solved now that rustc can bootstrap itself via cranelift.
- imhoguy 6y agoBut is that a huge issue? One could compile on better machine with i386 target, no?
- ColanR 6y agoAccording to the link above, in openbsd the policy is that 'base builds base'. Rust can't be included in the base on i386 without violation of that policy.
- estebank 6y agoAnd this is a reasonable and understandable policy. It just means that Rust in it's current form is not a good fit for OpenBSD base system.
