GCC can be faster in some cases and despite other claims there are many platforms that only work with GCC, I was offered in the past a job to work on implementing code optimizations for gcc by a company that had such a embeded board platform - so if Rust wants to run everywhere C runs then the community should try to explain the fanboys that gcc is not a bad thing.
- volta83 5y ago> GCC can be faster in some cases How? The Rust compiler frontend already can use GCC as a backend. This project - GCC rs - is a different frontend, which also happens to use GCC as a backend. The number of targets and performance that both can have is the same. So the argument "GCC can be faster than GCC" is illogical. You are talking about the same thing.
