Milestone Progress Now that we have pushed through the core of Trait Resolution, we need to move on to more control flow work, including pattern matching, closures and finishing off operator overloading. We also have a goal test case in mind for the end of this milestone https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/reference_impl/reference_impl.rs which with some work, we can remove […]

GCC Rust Weekly Status Report 25

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project.
