Probably they mean using the gcc backend. That seems like a huge hassle, but might be possible if rustup would distribute libgccjit configured for different architectures.

Would you consider implementing the first part of the Tiger book as enough expertise to start in the field? This includes, in my case, generating x86-64 assembly and writing a register allocator.

Do you think we need to be in specific kind of cities (smaller vs bigger) to earn a living doing such a job? Or do you think doing solely this is not enough to earn a living?

Functors and monads!

Auto-Sort Bookmarks (Firefox add-on): https://github.com/antoyo/auto-sort-bookmarks It provides a way to sort all bookmarks and automatically sort bookmarks. By the way, I planned to rewrite it in OCaml. I started the binding of the add-on SDK (here it is: https://github.com/antoyo/oc-addon-sdk).

Vim Licenses (vim plugin): https://github.com/antoyo/vim-licenses Vim Plugin that provides commands to add licenses at the top of the buffer (very useful when working on open-source projects).
