[https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2012-January/001256.html Rust
0.1 was officially released yesterday]. Rust is an interesting take on the
systems language: it goes for roughly the same niche as Go, but its
designers have decided to make it both lower-level at run-time and safer
(by increasing compile-time guarantees and checkability). [http://www
.rust-lang.org/ Its website] describes it as:
> Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually
resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic
and semantic details. Its design is oriented toward concerns of
“programming in the large”, that is, of creating and maintaining
boundaries – both abstract and operational – that preserve large-system
integrity, availability and concurrency.
From the release mail,

lang.org/dist/rust-0.1.tar.gz
* signature file: http://dl.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.1.tar.gz.asc

A `./configure; make` was sufficient to build a working compiler on my
10.6 machine, although the build process fetches a stage0 compiler (the
rust compiler is written in rust) on the internet, I do not know if that
fits in the normal Macports practices. It also builds a full LLVM, maybe
it could depend on the macports-provided LLVM instead (not sure which
version is needed, it built a 3.1dev from today)
