Unfortunate that #rustlang wasn't production ready when Bitcoin Core was initially released. Maintaining a C++ project means a lot of brainpower is spent on writing code/annotations that should be supported by the language/compiler out of the box.
The point is to use it to bootstrap, not as a general purpose thing. Or to take its results as part of that risk calculation about trusting trust.

Bootstrapping is all I was trying to use it for (and it didn't succeed). Shouldn't need to bootstrap on backdoored hardware either, so portability should be fixed.

@LukeDashjr is being on this point, remember that the prize for a successful backdoor into this class of software measures in the tens of billions of dollars. Would love to see@rustlang able to bootstrap from open-source hardware+software. - 2 more replies
