Rustlang-based apps have emerged as the most trendy language/tech choice for Linux apps lately.

Because of lacking of ppc64le backend in wasmtime, many popuilar apps such as Zed text editor, DenoJS could not be ported to ppc64le. There was a report from lleabout (https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/1183) in the past but it did not produce any result yet.

If any member who could take on the work, I am more than happy to crowd source a bounty to reward for their efforts.

Seems there were some people waiting for Rust to support AIX, which it has now for ~1.5 years now. https://twitter.com/aklyachkin/status/1604802368331202563
