  • AECforWebAssembly

    A port of ArithmeticExpressionCompiler from x86 to WebAssembly, so that the programs written in the language can run in a browser. The compiler has been rewritten from JavaScript into C++.

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

    • I think most of important issues have already been mentioned here, but if you want to see a discussion that is fairly exhaustive (and exhausting), check out this thread about adding named parameters and related features to Rust.
