Shouldn't we wait until Rust gets full support in GCC? This should resolve the issue with ports without a working Rust compiler.
I don't have a problem with Rust, it is just a language, but it doesn't seem to play along well with the mostly C/C++ based UNIX ecosystem, particularly when it comes to dependencies and package management. C and C++ don't have one, and often rely on system-wide dynamic libraries, while Rust has cargo, which promotes large dependency graphs of small libraries, and static linking.
