The Rust language kept coming up this week.

Webrender is interesting, accelerated CSS etc without the need of a browser.
HTML5 User Interfaces, gadget GUI's...

When I found a Rust version of coreutils and rust-boot I realized this is a serious Language.

Found a page with what people have done and are doing with it

Does not take long to install in Raspbian and seems cleaner than gcc, less baggage?
Native multicore aware so it could do interesting things on Pi2/3's.

Of interest for me is the AI deep learning, Leaf stuff.
I have always considered that piCore would make a decent base for robotics without bloat.
Sure it has been done in Raspbian, but I don't  regard Raspbian as stable enough, not like piCore
