Nice.

But don't hold your breath:

So this still can't compile the Rust parts of a Linux kernel, then?

Good question. Suppose so...

Does anyone know?

That's correct, the Rust-for-Linux project depends on the Rust core library, which is really essential to the language. As we wrote in the email, we still can't compile it fully or link against it. So Rust-for-Linux is still a future goal :)

I'm still excited thought. Looking forward to its debut.
