Rustcompiled
Rustcompiled is a theoretical concept rather than a concrete, widely adopted standard or technology. The term suggests a potential future development or a niche approach where Rust code is not directly compiled into native machine code as is typical, but rather compiled into another intermediate representation or a more abstract form before final execution. This could manifest in various ways, such as compiling Rust to WebAssembly for browser execution, or to a bytecode format for a virtual machine. The primary motivations for such compilation approaches often revolve around portability, security, or enabling specific execution environments not easily supported by direct native compilation. For instance, compiling Rust to WebAssembly allows it to run safely and efficiently in web browsers, bridging the gap between low-level performance and web ubiquity. Another possibility could be the development of a Rust-specific virtual machine, where Rust code is compiled to bytecode for that VM, offering a controlled and potentially sandboxed execution environment. While the Rust compiler's primary output is native executables, the flexibility of its language design and its LLVM backend provide a foundation upon which alternative compilation targets could theoretically be built or explored. The term "Rustcompiled" is not a formal designation and would likely be used descriptively to refer to any non-standard compilation process of Rust.
