>It is probably one of the major reasons we won't see a Rust compiler shipped with an operating system for a very long time. Even most linux distros don't ship with GCC out of the box... much less MacOS and Windows with their respective compilers. If your standard is "Gentoo and FreeBSD will never ship it out of the box" then I'm going to 100% stand by my statement that this is weird and gatekeep-y. Especially when the Windows kernel and userspace system libraries both have Rust in them. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-11-build-ships-with-more-rust-based-kernel-features/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-... https://www.thurrott.com/windows/282471/microsoft-is-rewriting-parts-of-the-windows-kernel-in-rust https://www.thurrott.com/windows/282471/microsoft-is-rewriti...
