Broken link in section 1.1 no_std

Open mone27 opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

At the bottom of the section 1.1 no_std there is a link for the FAQ, which is broken. It points to a page on rust-lang.org that does not longer exits and you get a 404 error.

That's true, the FAQ actually doesn't seem to exist in the current rust-lang.org website. There's an open issue about this: rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/issues/291

We could point to the old website FAQ instead: https://prev.rust-lang.org/en-US/faq.html#does-rust-work-without-the-standard-library

However, IMO the Summary does a good job describing what #![no_std] is. So I think it would be better to remove the link altogether.

I ran into this today and spent a few minutes trying to find any sort of FAQ on the website. Since there doesn't seem to be one anymore, removing the link makes sense to me.
