HEAD
Import rust 1.11.0 as lang/rust into pkgsrc. pkgsrc notes: * The build requires binary bootstraps built by the Rust team. Due to the requirement that only the previous version is supported as a bootstrap compiler, and new versions of Rust are released every 6 weeks, it is unlikely to be practical to build TNF bootstraps. Users should evaluate whether they trust binaries from upstream. * There is currently no SunOS bootstrap provided by the Rust team, so for now a version built by myself is provided by Joyent. * Only Darwin/Linux/SunOS are currently supported. The Rust team do provide NetBSD bootstraps so support should be easy enough to add. Information about Rust from the DESCR: Rust is a systems programming language focused on three goals: safety, speed, and concurrency. It maintains these goals without having a garbage collector, making it a useful language for a number of use cases other languages aren't good at: embedding in other languages, programs with specific space and time requirements, and writing low-level code, like device drivers and operating systems. It improves on current languages targeting this space by having a number of compile-time safety checks that produce no runtime overhead, while eliminating all data races. Rust also aims to achieve "zero-cost abstractions" even though some of these abstractions feel like those of a high-level language. Even then, Rust still allows precise control like a low-level language would.
