Research direction

Locate the website's Ecosystem section and review the linked Rust project-goals issue for current details about Manuel Drehwald's LLVM offload work. Confirm the status and wording with the referenced discussion, then add a concise, accurate mention and link; the Ecosystem section should clearly reflect the work without overstating its readiness.

Description

It's still very early days and I'm not sure if normal people can even try it out yet. But I find that approach interesting because if we can get it to work, from my understanding, it means we can share a large fraction of the work with LLVM's C/++/Fortran OpenMP 4 backends, and that gives us access to a much larger workforce than Rust-on-GPU has ever enjoyed so far. So I'm curious to see what it will lead us to.

As far as I know, the main way to track progress right now is to subscribe to this github issue.
