"rustc" is how you invoke the compiler from the command line, that's no good. :)

I do seem to remember that the devs were passively soliciting ideas for a better name for this keyword. The great thing about a language at this stage is that if this really bothers you, then you can petition to have it changed!



How about externc, hinting at C++'s extern "C" for C++ code that will be visible (unmangled) to C code?


I actually like that a lot - relatively short, to the point, and doesn't have any conflicting intrinsic meaning.
