Rust is a language for writing the GC, runtime, OS kernel, etc.
- pjmlp 3y agoAnd? Plenty of GC enabled system programming languages have achieved similar feats, with bigger outcome than Rust has managed to on the desktop space, e.g. Xerox Workstations, across Smalltalk, Intelisp-D and Mesa/Cedar. Redox is still not as feature rich as Mesa/Cedar was on the Dorado in 1981. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_dt7NG38V4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_dt7NG38V4 By the way Go, D, Eiffel, Nim, Common Lisp, Scheme, some JVM implementations are bootstrapped, meta-circular, with their own GC implemented on them.
