I’m not particularly vested in Ferrocene and I won’t be using it for my own purposes (or business for that matter), but it’s cool to see that they’re not only releasing Ferrocene today, but also have a clear message saying they’ll be open sourcing their code for the compiler. Grats to the people at Ferrous Systems.

For those who don’t know what Ferrocene is…

Ferrocene is the main Rust compiler - rustc - but quality managed and qualified for use in automotive and industrial environments (currently by ISO 26262 and IEC 61508) by Ferrous Systems. It operates as a downstream to the Rust project, further increasing its testing and quality on specific platforms.
