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. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=rust&submit=Search%21&idxname=guix-devel&max=20&result=normal&sort=score Glad to have you here! -- Chris
