I'm glad to see Rust's progress. I'm still very interested in Rust, and incrementally learning the language. I do appreciate the documentation, IMO the developers have done a tremendous job in that respect.
One question though. When is Cargo going to be available on FreeBSD (and other BSD's)? I think these platforms are significant in the server space where Rust would be highly relevant. Having Rust usable there would likely augment uptake of the language.
I've heard progress on this front recently (it's mostly about the automation infrastructure), and I might expect official nightlies of both rustc and cargo for FreeBSD by the end of summer.
There are community builds to several of the BSDs, but we don't have CI running at the moment. We're working on ways to possibly provide infrastructure for community members to hook into to help make sure that the build is always green...
