Initial commit of the second newsletter. Still some TODOs for @japaric #73

Closes #65 |
|
@jamesmunns I've thrown my summary into the PR. It still needs some editing (fix the headers, etc.). Let me know if you have comments or if anything is missing. I'll check this PR again in a few hours. |
|
Another thing that I wanted to mention is that the linker issue we asked help for in the last newsletter already has a PR that will fix it in rust-lang/rust#49316. |

| We don't only want to make embedded Rust possible on stable; we also want to make sure the embedded targets don't regress. So we are going to add tests to rust-lang/rust CI to make sure regression block PRs from landing. | ||
|
|

| That effectively will make some of the embedded targets into the tier 1 platform. The core team is fine with adding the `thumb*` targets (ARM Cortex-M) to tier 1. Less maintained, still in development and not fully mature targets like AVR, MSP430 and RISCV will become tier 3 -- they'll be tested but won't block PRs and rust-std binaries will be produced but it's not guaranteed there will be binaries available for all nightly / beta / stable releases. |

@japaric should AVR/MSP/RISCV be tier 2 and not tier 3?

Now that I'm actually reading the description in the Rust Platform Support page yes; it sounds like those should be called tier 2 targets.

Thanks @jamesmunns! |

This sentence could be wierd to read if you don't know about compiler-builtins
| extern crate compiler_builtins; | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| In the future we might want to merge `compiler-builtins` into `core` but that requires more effort and can still be done if we do the `#![no_std]` prelude approach right now. |

and can still be done later if we do
