It would literally be a one-liner in Rust so there's no need for it ;) targeting software that can't yet integrate Rust into their toolchain
It seems inappropriate to call a programming language unacceptable until it's willing to commit to a stable dynlinkable ABI.

That's the key. Nothing Rust could do other than commit to a stable ABI would be sufficient, and that's an unacceptable demand.

fwiw, I'd be very happy to have a conversation with someone interested in hashing this out with an open mind.

I've yet to meet any one person who understands both sides of this. The Debian working group is like half a dozen people which seems like-

Which is a long way of saying I don't know who you should talk to, but maybe seek out the working groups for each OS+Rust effort? :)

(for reference, I'm on rust core team and creator of Cargo, very interested in Debian integration that satisfies Debian core constraints)
