> How about get an actual published language standard?

I’m curious, did you Google before writing this comment? I did just now and the first result I found is https://github.com/rust-lang/reference.

This is something the Rust project is taking very seriously. You can read up on their approach in this detailed blog post from November 2023 - Our Vision for the Rust Specification (https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2023/11/15/spec-visio...).

This is an ambitious and difficult project that is a work in progress. They’re continuing to work hard at it. There were 2 PRs merged to master less than 2 hours ago when I wrote this comment. On a Saturday, that’s commitment right there.

> How about get more implementations of it?

Here’s what another quick google search yielded. From the official Rust blog, published November 2024: gccrs: An alternative compiler for Rust (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/11/07/gccrs-an-alternative-c...)

Hope that helps dispel the confusion around the lack of spec or alternate implementation.
