Destabilise `target-spec-json` Per rust-lang/compiler-team#944: > Per https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71009, the ability to load target spec JSONs was stabilised accidentally. Within the team, we've always considered the format to be unstable and have changed it freely. This has been feasible as custom targets can only be used with core, like any other target, and so custom targets de-facto require nightly to be used (i.e. to build core manually or use Cargo's -Zbuild-std). > > Current build-std RFCs (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3873, https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3874) propose a mechanism for building core on stable (at the request of Rust for Linux), which combined with a stable target-spec-json format, permit the current format to be used much more widely on stable toolchains. This would prevent us from improving the format - making it less tied to LLVM, switching to TOML, enabling keys in the spec to be stabilised individually, etc. > > De-stabilising the format gives us the opportunity to improve the format before it is too challenging to do so. Internal company toolchains and projects like Rust for Linux already use target-spec-json, but must use nightly at some point while doing so, so while it could be inconvenient for those users to destabilise this, it is hoped that an minimal alternative that we could choose to stabilise can be proposed relatively quickly. |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
