FYI: the current name for this is ACATS: Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite. > "to be able to use the word rust in a distributed compiler your > modifications must 100% pass the test suite without modifying > the test suite" What does "in" mean here? Is "rust" modifying "language" or "compiler" in this case? As was stated, that's a significant difference. > a thorough investigation of how it was done for ADA should reveal > how it can be properly done for gccrs and rustc. It's a very different situation. Ada was a standardized language via a very formal process. And it was a very different time.
