 3 | > Coordination repository of the portability Working Group (WG)
 4 | 
 5 | This repository [issue tracker] is used by the portability WG to coordinate efforts towards making Rust
 6 | portable to new platforms.

10 | ## Vision
11 | 
12 | > Rust is really super portable. It supports a lot of platforms. But not enough 
13 | > … not nearly enough. Rust wants to be everywhere, in wild places that only 
14 | > future generations will be able to imagine. We’ve got some work yet to enable 
15 | > that future though, and it is our responsibility to the Rusting world to do 
16 | > so!

20 | Some concrete goals:
21 | 
22 | * Support in `std` for non-Unix, non-Windows platforms.
23 |   * Support for platforms that don’t have or require libc. The `std` API surface is already designed to accomodate this, but not the implementation.
24 | * Reduced maintenance burden for ports. Porting std today requires touching too many parts of the libraries, and those parts must be maintaned by the std maintainers. In general, day-to-day maintenance should not require dealing with platform-specific code, especially for lesser-maintained ports.
25 | * Rust developers should be aware when they use non-portable interfaces, so that they can avoid them or at least plan for them.
26 | * Most of Rust's crate ecosystem should be usable on any platform with ease.
