Mrustc: a Rust compiler written in C++
Neat project. It looks like this was largely written by one person, and I'm fairly in awe at anyone who can take a big project like a compiler this far alone.<p>Isn't there a bit of cognitive dissonance in believing that Rust as a language is an important idea (i.e. by the additional code safety and code maintainability that it conveys), but then simultaneously making the effort to rewrite the current Rust-implemented compiler in C++?<p>C++ is fast, but aside from a shared value around performance, it has fairly little in common with the ideas that Rust is built on.
