El viernes 20 de septiembre del 2019 a las 1=
634 horas, Stefan Monnier escribi=C3=B3:

 Won=
dering this=2E The only downside of this would be installing more
 depen=
dencies to build Emacs, say, if someone were to do a contribution to
 Em=
acs core with Rust

 There are two problems:
 - impos=
ing an additional dependency for those who compile Emacs (and
   potenti=
ally even for those who *use* Emacs if it requires a specific
   run-tim=
e library)=2E
 - imposing knowledge of an additional language for the ma=
intainers=2E

 If the feature is *very* desirable, hard to reimplemen=
t in C or Elisp,
 and is optional, I guess maybe potentially it could hy=
pothetically
 be discussed?


         Stefan "who likes Rust, =
FWIW"

That's what I was fearing, jaja=2E If a feature f=
ulfills those three requirements maybe a discussion
about it could (hypo=
thetically) start=2E Got it=2E

Was asking because I would like to ru=
n some experiments to scratch an itch I have, but I did not
wanted to wa=
ste time if such thing won't be shipped with the rest of Emacs (or not? if =
anything, the
thing I want to do can land on GNU ELPA I guess)=2E

BTW, there is remacs ( https://github=2Ecom/remacs/remacs)= for the particular itch of rust=2E

Thanks
