Hello
In order to response https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2367, "Add the ability to build EDKII modules in RUST", we plan to create a edk2-staging/edkii-rust branch if there is no objection.


There have been various instances of advocacy https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/11/07/using-rust-in-windows/ for building system level software in Rust https://www.rust-lang.org/.

Given the ability to migrate components to Rust incrementally, this feature request advocates support for building EDKII components in Rust.



Currently, there is POC work to demonstrates how to integrate Rust support https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/tree/edkii-rust.

We hope to add this to staging tree as a step for more collaboration and more feedback.



The readme is at https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/blob/edkii-rust/HowToEnalbeRust.md



The code base of development is edk2-stable201911 tag.

This branch owner: Jiewen Yao <jiewen.yao@intel.com<mailto:jiewen.yao@intel.com>>
Thank you
Yao Jiewen
