Probably they mean using the gcc backend. That seems like a huge hassle, but might be possible if rustup would distribute libgccjit configured for different architectures.

Would you consider implementing the first part of the Tiger book as enough expertise to start in the field?
This includes, in my case, generating x86-64 assembly and writing a register allocator.
Do you think we need to be in specific kind of cities (smaller vs bigger) to earn a living doing such a job?
Or do you think doing solely this is not enough to earn a living?
Location matters, but I also think it depends a lot on how you market yourself. A small mountain town won't have enough clients interested with the means to pay for those services. A resort destination (Hawaii?) could be really good. I think that is why I want financial independence though, so I can worry a little less about how much I can earn.
From reading it sounds like yoga teachers are plentiful since a lot of people practicing naturally progress to getting certified. Starting wages can be very poor because of this. That's where I think marketing can be the differentiating factor. Travel around India learning, maybe write a book or blog about yourself. Get on reality TV and become a minor celebrity. Have a very well respected lineage. Just some ideas to bring in more clients.
Vim Licenses (vim plugin):

Vim Plugin that provides commands to add licenses at the top of the buffer (very useful when working on open-source projects).
