I clicked through to the project at https://github.com/FractalFir/rustc_codegen_clr - from a quick glance at it, with 1.8k stars and 17 contributors, it deserves a better treatment than a passive—aggressive dismissal like this as a top comment.

It is a very impressive piece of work.

Right, and that probably should have been the link rather than some in-process thoughts about popcount or w/e. Sorry for not figuring it out and clicking around effectively.

The linked article was mostly meant for people already lossely familiar with the project, but it seems it escaped its intended audience.

I do have a whole bunch of articles about the project on my website, going trough the entire journey of the project, from its start as a Rust to .NET compiler, to the current state.

I should have probably linked the previous articles in this one - I'll add that to my website. I'll also look into adding some more context to the articles next time.

Thanks for the feedback :)

I guess the complaint was more about your fans updooting stuff, so apologies if it sounded like I was shitting on this. Cool project, and I really am awaiting the presentation/writeup.

Your positive attitude and the talent is inspiring. Thank you very much!
