Well, this wouldn't be the first time that we are not as clear communicating our intents as we thought or should. Sorry about that.
Thanks for getting in touch with the OS/2 maintainer. We definitely need to spread the word asap. I hope that Rust can be ported to OS/2 and other Tier-3 platforms but there is no guarantee and that will definitely take time and commitment. On the upside, Rust is a great language, so any new port will be good news for the target platform. Cheers, David On 15/12/15 05:00, Cameron Kaiser wrote: > That's not what I said.
