Five years with Rust
> 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's good to hear that people behind Rust intent to continue working on Rust. One thing I'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't consider it important to be able to compile Rust to JavaScript, because I don'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/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't intent to blame, shame or finger-point anybody, but just point out critical remarks that come to mind.
