Until this happens i will remain skeptical if the Rust community can pull it off without the backing of said industries. On the other i like being proven wrong. Time will tell.

I'm not up to date. Input would be appreciated here.

As for alternate implementations, https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc .

As for specification, https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1643 is what's currently happening, i.e. specifying exactly how unsafe code behaves (this is more important than specifying the rest). But the rest will come.

As for the industry, https://www.rust-lang.org/friends.html
