I am appreciating 2 distinct approaches currently used to compile Rust code in R packages:
1. LinkingTo: cargo, as done in https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=salso 2. A more ‘traditional’-looking approach built on Autoconf & Automake https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=gifski Is there any reason why one or the other would be preferred for a CRAN submission? Would one or the other design better facilitate Rust’s eventual elevation to ‘first-class’ status (like C++, Fortran) for compiling code in R packages? In favor of (1), it seems to me that the “Reverse linking to:” entry at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=cargo nicely advertises packages that use Rust, which could be useful for example code, etc. In favor of (2), it seems completely idiomatic—and so potentially more conducive to achieving first-class status for Rust.
