Developers working in languages like C or C++ have access totwo competing compilers - GCC and LLVM - either of which can usually getthe job done. Rust developers, though, are currently limited to theLLVM-based rustc compiler. While rustc works well, thereare legitimate reasons for developers to wish for an alternative.
