The last time I looked at Rust platforms, I was kind of surprised that AIX wasn't on the list at all.

It looks like the Solaris port got a nudge from Oracle, so I'm guessing that the most likely path to AIX support is a similar nudge from IBM.

Does LLVM have an AIX backend? That'd be the major blocker.

IBM just published this today: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-dev...

No idea what that means in general, but it's gotta be good in some sense!
