I've been reading comments in this thread and i wonder what actual arguments you have against gccrs, if you have links to more detailed resources. As a Rust user, i'm happy people are working on alternative implementations so specs can get new eyes.
> implementing something that differs from "Rust" (...) I think is unethical, and given the intent, probably illegal
I don't understand this statement. One of the contributors said earlier in the thread something that sounds opposed to your interpretation:
> For inconsistencies, we have stated in our FAQ that if GCC rust does not behave the same as rustc. Then it is a bug with GCC rust.
Also, "your code is illegal" is not very much an ethics argument in my book. Digital weaponry like mass-surveillance systems are mostly legal, while harmless ThePirateBay/PopcornTime are illegal.
