About the Speaker
GCC Rust is a front-end project for the GNU toolchain, a work-in-progress alternative to the official Rustc compiler. Being part of GCC, the compiler benefits from the common compiler flags, available backend targets and provides insight into its distinct optimiser’s impact on a modern language. In this talk, I will introduce the compiler, demonstrate its current state and discuss the goals and motivations for the project.
