Get back to me when Rust has a stable ABI and can produce dynamically linked binaries.

  Rust supports opting into the C ABI

    So does any other language which wants to be useful; being able to call C functions is table stakes for a systems programming language. But Rust itself can still only generate static binaries, because Rust doesn’t have a stable ABI.

      I am not talking about calling C functions, but about providing a stable ABI for your binary.

        Can a Rust program be compiled, by the normal Rust compiler, into a dynamically linked binary, linked to Rust libraries, by “opting in” to the C ABI?

          More than C++ can.
