<p>Hi all!<br>
<br>
We are happy to announce that we have decided to reimplement Freecell<br>
Solver ( <a href="http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/" target="_blank">http://fc-solve.shlomifish.<wbr>org/</a> ) in the Rust programming<br>
language ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>Rust_(programming_language)</a> ).<wbr>.<br>
Rust will provide the following advantages compared to the<br>
venerable C language, in which Freecell Solver is currently written:<br>
<br>
1. Improved performance.<br>
<br>
2. Far superior compilation speed.<br>
<br>
3. Better portability.<br>
<br>
However, it also has some disadvantages, which we hope will not hinder<br>
the conversion:<br>
<br>
1. The Rust compiler is much more lax than GCC's C compiler.<br>
<br>
2. Rust has much more undefined behaviours<br>
( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undefined_behavior" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>Undefined_behavior</a> ) than C, and is generally<br>
less safe.<br>
<br>
3. The Rust licence is more restrictive than GCC's.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, we plan to proceed with this. We also have a future goal<br>
of porting PySol FC ( <a href="http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://pysolfc.sourceforge.<wbr>net/</a> ) from Python to Rust<br>
due to the superior dynamic nature of Rust and its succinctness (see:<br>
<a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/power.html" target="_blank">http://www.paulgraham.com/<wbr>power.html</a> ).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
