I'm mostly wondering how we would get the rust community to adopt our rust 
tooling for serious rust development.

Do we expect rust people to use Guix for developing rust projects without cargo?

Are there other package managers in the rust community that people are using 
besides cargo?

I realize cargo has issues. I don't have a comprehensive list of them but I'm 
curious to find out more.

Maxime, what have you researched with regards to cargo issues or where
should I start studying up on that to get familiar with why antioxidant
is needed?

Is there a thread that introduces the need for a new rust build system and why?

all best,
