Not only that, but Rust depends on LLVM.

Last time I looked at this comment it was flagged [dead]; I'm glad someone was able to remedy that as I was unable to upvote.

I think this is a good criticism, but might not be true forever and is certainly something to keep in mind.

As I said in the GP, Rust will not be upstreamed into the kernel- this is one of the reasons why.

If a comment is dead that you think is worthwhile, you can follow the permalink to it and vouch for it. I imagine that feature is gated behind some point threshold, but my guess is whatever that threshold is you're past it.

It doesn't have to, but yes, it currently pretty much requires LLVM.
