Five years with Rust
&gt; Five years in, I think my journey has been successful so far. I’m proud of how far Rust has come. That said, there’s a lot more work to do. I’m still committed as ever to getting that work done, (...)<p>It&#x27;s good to hear that people behind Rust intent to continue working on Rust. One thing I&#x27;m missing, however, is what exactly is considered important to be solved. There are many things how Rust could be made more viable or attractive for a variety of scenarios.<p>For example, I don&#x27;t consider it important to be able to compile Rust to JavaScript, because I don&#x27;t think JavaScript is a good thing.<p>On the other hand, downstream packaging of Rust and libraries is important. There are scenarios where rustup and cargo are not acceptable. Is this on the radar?<p>Another issue is target&#x2F;host support and independent implementations. Rusts only Tier 1 platforms are of the backdoored x86-family. Is this not considered an issue to be solved to make the world a better place?<p>I don&#x27;t intent to blame, shame or finger-point anybody, but just point out critical remarks that come to mind.
