I thought it was more connected with the recent spree of discussion about replacing C (and GCC) with Rust (and LLVM) in GNU/Linux. A few weeks back this semed to start with a dependency on a Rust compiler by the Python cryptography module, which most notably infuriated the Gentoo community because it meant things broke on some niche architectures not supported by LLVM. There's been a number of articles since then about replacing core utils with Rust implementations and just yesterday an interview with Linus Torvalds about the future potential for using Rust and LLVM for the Linux kernel.
