Rust newbie that has used part of his summer to get into Rust.
Clarify me on some points.
Does that means than (after merged) I can use gcc to compile rust code right?
What are the advantages of this versus using the normal rustc compiler?
All the crate/project management would still be done with cargo?
It seems to be a tool very entwined with rust itself, so I wonder if someone uses rust without cargo?
- pabs3 4y agoI think most people would just use the existing Rust infrastructure; rustc etc. The GCC frontend will be useful in situations where you cannot use that; for platforms that LLVM/rustc do not support, when you want to build rustc from source instead of using the rustc binaries etc.
