Woodruff: Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with

William Woodruff has posted arant of sorts on the adoption of Rust by the Python Cryptographyproject, which was covered here inFebruary.

What's the point of this spiel? It's precisely what happened topyca/cryptography: nobody asked them whether it was a good idea totry to run their code on HPPA, much less System/390; some packagersjust went ahead and did it, and are frustrated that it no longerworks. People just assumed that it would, because there is still anorm that everything flows from C, and that any host with ahalfway-functional C compiler should have the entire open sourceecosystem at its disposal.
