Reasons NetBSD is not adopting Rust |
 |
In recent years the Rust programming language has been adopted by more and more projects, making itself a part of the open source landscape. Rust is being used to create the COSMIC desktop, it is being integrated into the Linux kernel, and Rust is being used to re-write the core command line utilities used by Ubuntu. One project which will probably not make use of Rust in the near future is NetBSD and one of the NetBSD developers has explained why in a blog post. One of the main sticking points is Rust doesn't work on all of the many CPU architectures NetBSD supports, making it an impractical choice. "There are many architectures that NetBSD supports where Rust is not available. This is probably the most important argument against Rust. Today, even getting a Rust compiler running in the first place is hard. Keeping Rust working (in pkgsrc) is quite a bit of work, resting on the shoulders of a few developers...."
