@notgull One thing the post doesn't really explain is why it matters how "late in the process" Rust shows up.

Are you working on something else that requires Rust, which you'd like to have available earlier in bootstrapping? Do you just want to be able to "cut off" bootstrapping entirely before C++?
@BatmanAoD Yeah, I have plans which require Rust to be available early on in the process.
@notgull Er...are they... secret plans?
@BatmanAoD Not really. Mostly I want to replace the Perl bootstrap that happens in the process
@notgull Replacing Perl with Rust certainly worthwhile!
@notgull @BatmanAoD In saw another attempt to replace perl but without rust. Somebody is trying to write autotools in C.
