I'm not aware of any significant progress on that front. But in the end, multiple implementations would be a good thing, but I'm still focusing on getting the first one in C ready :-) > Is it going to > become the official implementation? The best free implementation will be made official ;-). > Will a Rust frontend be added to > gcc? ~6 months ago I was told that the gcc team considered that Rust was still evolving too quickly to be supportable by GCC. But that does not mean "never", Rust just needs to become a stable standard and not something different every 6 months (I was told this indirectly, don't shoot the messenger). > otherwise isn’t this a problem given the sortof rivalry between GNU > and LLVM which purposedly allows, supports and now *has* contributing to > create proprietary languages (such as Swift, iirc)? I don't think that would keep GNU from trying to support popular languages. But it's obviously a matter of developer time. And indeed, RMS himself counseled me against banking too much on Rust until there is a 2nd (GCC-based) compiler available for it. Still, experiments in that direction are very welcome. > What about graph- rather than tree(hierarchy)-based reference system? > for instance if I want galex.eu, galex.fr, galex.it, to point to the > same thing, how might that be used (I had difficulty formulating this > question since the first time I learnt about GNS, in 2013)?

Why shouldn't you be able to point galex.eu and galex.fr to exactly the same zone? Many companies do effectively this with all of their FOO.cc-DNS entries. GNS is graph-based, not tree-based, you can have cycles and whatever else, and there is no unique root (other than what might be common consensus / default settings). So maybe I'm not understanding the question ;-) _______________________________________________ Help-gnunet mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnunet
