Rustaceans at the border

In this discussion I realized that it is better to experiment with the code rather than complain from the side. I did learn about "cargo vendor" command today, and it looks like a valid option for selected components. And I'm experimenting on bringing some of the stuff that I'm maintaining in the kernel to Rust. I'm also now following the vger list, which I also learned about thanks to this article.

One thing that might become obstacle is the state of Rust front-end support in GCC because it is hard to imagine that this could end up to mainline without being able to compile it fully with stock GCC. Also, in order to use Rust ever in the core would probably require full coverage of arch/*. But I guess the latter is not end of the world as far as drivers are concerned.
