maybe I'm wrong, but rust is still using LLVM. When I see that list of benefits, I wonder why rust is still on LLVM... (honest question, I use rust everyday and I'm happy with it, except for compilation times :-) )

Rust has cranelift as a natively bootstrapped alternative these days. No different from Golang or Zig.

		When will it become the default? What does it say about LLVM project that everybody starts off on it and then gets off of it?

Rust depends heavily on the llvm optimization pipeline afaik. So it would be a heavy investment to write native backends.
