[libre-riscv-dev] [Bug 207] Design Rust-based HDL like nmigen (deferred for later)

[Samuel Falvo II]

I can see the benefit that algebraic types can offer; however, it's not
clear to me how Rust's borrow-checker would be a benefit for synthesis, or
logic design at all for that matter.  Have you run into a situation in the
past where the borrow checker would have proven advantageous to have around?
