[Libre-soc-dev] pia as cycle accurate simulator?

[Jacob Lifshay]

Just read this article on using Rust, has some relevant points to the
decision of if we should build a simulator on top of pia:

one of the important things mentioned in the above article is Rust has some
very nice ELF and DWARF libraries if we need them. It also has a waay
better replacement for C's switch statement: match -- that should be very
handy for instruction decoding.
