Hi, Nishith
Very strange. I haven't received any email from you. Last week I sent you a private message here. Please check your Inbox and reply with your info. Or can you please try again with the email: xl_beta@ca.ibm.com? Sorry for the delay but I do need your info (company & email) to register you on our early program website for download access. Thanks.

@Nishith Khandelwal Hi Nishith, yes, I am glad to provide you the access to Rust AIX. Can you please send me an email (or private message) to provide some general information (such as your company, your email address, and the major purpose of trying Rust AIX, e.g any Rust apps/crates you are interested, etc.)? Then I will reply to you with the instructions on download. Thanks.

Hi Howard @Howard Coles very glad to see you asking about Rust for AIX. Actually IBM Compiler team did launch an early program (Alpha) for Rust on AIX. If you or your known friends/customers are interested, please feel free to contact me (siyuan.zhang@cn.ibm.com) , with some basic information such as Name, company name, contact email, and the purpose of trying Rust AIX. Then I will send you the link of Alpha program and make sure you get access to the Rust for AIX Alpha package. Looking forward to your try-out. Thanks.

This question was asked back in 2018, but I'd like re-introduce it.
Are there any efforts to setup RPMs for AIX to enable easy install of rust?

At this juncture, the rust project components - std, rustc and cargo are available for the PowerPC platform.

powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | PPC64LE Linux |

More so, the LLVM project supports PowerPC, PowerPC-64

LLVM for System Z

Is there any effort initiated by AIXToolbox team to either cross-compile or contribute code to the Rust project, to try and support Rust on AIX ? Any thoughts ?
warm regards
Saifi.
