Any #Rust folks giving up on Linux:
#FreeBSD has no current plan for Rust, but we want one! We want experienced Rust people to tell us how it should work. We’re interested in being able to add Rust in both userspace and the kernel, but we need a way of using Rust that works with multi-year support cycles (we need to be able to easily merge security fixes in trunk back to a branch that was originally made four years ago).
Personally, I’d love to see a new service management framework for FreeBSD written in Rust + Lua.
