Update Rust Status

[ibraheemdev]

Rust's status should be "Runs natively on Apple Silicon". The linked issue states that the Intel targets can run on Rosetta, but there is also a native arm target available with tier 2 support.

Are these builds available via homebrew or the Rust website download page.

Basically, just available without using preview builds

There is a native nightly-aarch64-apple-darwin toolchain can be installed via rustup.
I'm using an Intel-based Mac now.

and

# pwd

# file rustc 
rustc: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

However, there's no build on beta channel or stable channel.

@ThatGuySam the official way to download rust is with rustup. Rustup supports native apple silicon with the nightly channel, and the stable channel is just waiting on the next rustup release. The status should be something like: "Native support for nightly, stable releases coming soon"
