In a way I'm happy rust does not have a stable abi. Swift does, but the stability is 'whatever apple swift emit'. Very little documentation, that what's there is out of date, so the only practical language that can interact with swift is swift. To be able to interact from another language, one would have to parse swift, make the semantics of all types and generics match exactly to be able to do the simplest things. (For example array and string, two core types are stock full of generics and protocols)

I'd hate to have the same happening for rust.
