rustc 1.64 is now built for all (relevant) archs in experimental, so
1.65.0 will follow suite some time this week. there are currently no
plans to upload it to unstable during freeze though.

Any news? rustc >= 1.65 is now needed for Firefox 110, which includes
security fixes. So this is a bit urgent. See:

rustc will be updated in experimental once 1.64 builds are done on all
release architectures. first to 1.65, then to 1.66.1, then to 1.67 and
so on.

bookworm will stay on 1.63 (besides any potential backports). note that
firefox has its own rust toolchain in Debian (old*)stable:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rustc-mozilla

for future reference - there is no need to file bugs to get rustc
updated in unstable (or experimental, during freeze time) - the rust
team will always pull in updates, but given the fast release schedule
and the amount of architecture related issues each release requires to
sort out, combined with the fact that updates have to happen one major
version after another, we'll likely always lag behind a bit.

Bug#1030753: rust-all: need for rust 1.66.1

Dear Maintainer,

We need to upgrade Rust to 1.66.1 to receive new language features and also 
help the desktop team to track the newer version of Firefox.

For example compiling gecko from firefox git gives the error

checking rustc version... 1.64.0
checking cargo version... 1.65.0
ERROR: Rust compiler 1.64.0 is too old.

To compile Rust language sources please install at least
version 1.65.0 of the 'rustc' toolchain (or, if using nightly,
at least one version newer than 1.65.0) and make sure it is
first in your path.

You can verify this by typing 'rustc --version'.

If you have the 'rustup' tool installed you can upgrade
to the latest release by typing 'rustup update'. The
installer is available from https://rustup.rs/
