Rust things I most anticipate

• Wide use of Wild, an alternative to mold, lld, and ld
• Wide use of Radicle, an alternative to GitHub that is peer-to-peer (updates)
• Wide use of Tantivy, a full-text search engine library (latest update)
• Wide use of Quickwit, a distributed search engine built on Tantivy (latest update)
• Make alternative (to LLVM) codegen backends available in a Rust stable toolchain:
  • rustc_codegen_cranelift, which uses cranelift for codegen, is already available via rustup on nightly toolchains, and the immediate benefit is fast debug compiles (updates)
  • rustc_codegen_gcc, allowing Rust to run in more hardware platforms (updates)
• Use of Rust in safety-critical systems, Ferrocene being the most likely candidate, due to being the first Rust toolchain qualified for the domain
• Removing libc dependency for Linux-based systems (mustang and rustix)

achieved

• Wide use of Typst, a more pleasant alternative to LaTeX: goal achieved, due to the claim that thousands of academic institutions now use it
• Usage in production versions of Chromium, released in mid 2024
• A driver written in Rust in the official Linux kernel:
  • Asix PHYs driver is the first, released early 2024
