Demoting i686-PC-windows-gnu to Tier 2
> Interestingly, Windows on ARM hasn't made it up to Tier 1 yet.
An RFC for that has been submitted recently: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3817

Writing into Uninitialized Buffers in Rust
This is already discussed for Rust: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3605. TL;DR: it's not as easy as it looks to just add "freeze."

Rust Dependencies Scare Me
Some people _do_ care about this (e.g. the proponents of this new RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3810). However, for some reason (culture, I guess?) there isn't much momentum yet to change the status quo.
Actually, a proposal for exactly this was published yesterday: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3810
It's unfortunate that the response so far hasn't been very positive

Rust to C compiler – 95.9% test pass rate, odd platforms
> > no dynamic linking
> There is.
Eh, I'm a Rust fan, and I hate the dynamic linking situation too.
I genuinely cannot see how Rust would be able to scale to something usable for all system applications the way it is now. Is every graphical application supposed to duplicate and statically link the entire set of GNOME/GTK or KDE/Qt libraries it needs? The system would become ginormous.
The only shared library support we have now is either using the C ABI, which would make for a horrible way to use Rust dependencies, or by pinning an exact version of the Rust compiler, which makes developing for the system almost impossible.
Hopefully we'll get something with #[export] [1] and extern "crabi" [2], but until then Rust won't be able to replace many things C and C++ are used for.

Traits in Rust Explained: From Usage to Internal Mechanics
As you can see, all trait methods are stored in sequence without any distinction between which method belongs to which trait. This is why upcasting is not possible. There's an ongoing RFC—RFC 2765—tracking this issue. Instead of discussing the solution proposed by the RFC here, we’ll introduce a more general workaround by adding an AsBase trait:
- Tail Call Recursion in Java with ASM (2023)

Rust Any part 3: we have upcasts
And for extra context the RFc lays out the current design and future options: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/3324-dyn-...
