I don't think adding Rust to Git is done in bad faith, and it will likely fully work, but Rust is only "guaranteed to build" on FreeBSD, not guaranteed to "work"[1]. There will likely be a point in time where it gets Tier 1 support and is built alongside Windows, macOS (aarch64) and Linux, though only with glibc, but for now I think this would be a bad idea in defense of FreeBSD. Either way, I am glad to see Perl be used less for something like Git. It satisfies my inner vendetta against it.
