I will be amazed if true! Last time I looked at the emscripten-Rust stack it was a tower of hacks and required a custom-hacked standard library. If that's all abstracted behind cargo build scripts that's awesome, but we're st

In Servo, DOM nodes are Rust values managed entirely by the SpiderMonkey GC, and clever (and evolving) techniques are used to teach Rust to integrate reliably with SpiderMonkey. Rust has the flexibility (or will) to safely integrate externa

OK, imagine... You run a single command to instantiate a family of cross-platform Cargo projects, one your platform-agnostic backend, and one for each of your target platforms: Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, of course, but also the enti

At the moment we are using 60 r3.xlarge spot instances each running a single build at a time, and as of a few weeks ago it took maybe two hours. It hasn't been optimized. There is no web dashboard yet (the website[1] - which runs Rust!

I am serious, but as you observed I also did not quite address your specific use case. Rust as-is with it's LLVM backend and lack of runtime has a clear path forward for anything LLVM can target (which is a lot now, and will be more

This will happen. Rust is going to be the language that runs everywhere, easily, and interops with everything. In the next year or two Rust devs will be able to easily build and test for Linux, Windows, Android, OS X, iOS, and asm.js/w

I've heard progress on this front recently (it's mostly about the automation infrastructure), and I might expect official nightlies of both rustc and cargo for FreeBSD by the end of summer. Don't hold me to that.

MSVC support primarily means that Rust programs link with the MSVC toolchain, and use structured exception handling for unwinding. There are no GNU components involved and no need to install MinGW.

You are right that process sandboxing is not as important for Servo, but it is important: 1) more defenses are more better, 2) Servo contains considerable amounts of C and C++ code and will for some time, 3) Even safe Rust has failure modes

You are right that there are risks in making big changes at this stage, but my understanding is that the I/O redesign is not as radical as it would seem, and it resolves long-standing issues. There has been a lot of churn recently it&#

Not to dismiss the importance of language stability, but forward porting in Rust should be significantly easier than Ruby for a few reasons: * Rust's strong type system means the pieces fit together only in specific ways - roughly, i

You don't gain much at that point, and that's the aim: a process that allows the best libraries to smoothly progress from community projects to official components, without any major disruptive events along the way.
