Re: rustup & cargo

[Chris Marusich]

Hi Brett!

Welcome!  I'm also curious about the situation with Rust.  I'm learning
Rust because I find it interesting, and I use GuixSD, so here my two
interests (Rust and Guix) overlap.

I haven't done much with Rust yet, but I am able to compile programs and
run them using the Guix-installed Rust compiler.  I haven't tried using
rustup to install or upgrade Rust, though; I think the way to install
and upgrade Rust via Guix is to use Guix, not rustup, but I could be
mistaken.  I have no idea what the status of cargo is, but when I built
a project the other day, it successfully downloaded a bunch of crates
and built the code, so presumably it's working.

If you search the email list, you'll find some other interesting
discussions about Rust.  One problem we have is that Rust is not yet
fully bootstrapped, but that's somewhat orthogonal to using Rust.

Glad to have you here!
