 6:40 AM *  

A few years ago, the only way to compile Rust code was using the rustc compiler
with LLVM as a backend. Since then, several projects, including

Mutabah's Rust Compiler (mrustc), GCC's Rust
support (gccrs),

rust_codegen_gcc, and

Cranelift have made enormous progress
on diversifying Rust's compiler implementations. The most recent such project,

Eurydice, has a
more ambitious goal: converting Rust code to clean C code. This is especially
useful in high-assurance software, where existing verification and compliance
tools expect C. Until such tools can be updated to work with Rust, Eurydice
could
provide a smoother transition for these projects, as well as a stepping-stone
for environments that have a C compiler but no working Rust compiler. Eurydice
has been used to compile some post-quantum-cryptography routines from Rust to C,
for example.
