snamellitI have the feeling that the confluence of migrating #GUIX to Codeberg, the new WoW for Rust packages and more software becoming available in Rust has made for a significant boost in usability for my use. I could remove quite some packages in my personal channel. Great work!
Khleedril@snamellit Yeah the #rust packaging really made a big difference; it was effectively broken before that for me.
@khleedril It is a quantum leap. For 1 package I needed 120+ dependency package definitions Now just relevant info. amazing...
mash_grazThe rust improvements are indeed nice, but they are still unusable on little RISC-V devices, because we don't provide enough substitutes for this platform until now and the horrible rust bootstrap tradition would require to build a whole chain of `rustc` versions before you can use any guix managed rust application on your system. That's why I'm still using plain `rustup` and `cargo` for all rust related work on these devices.
@mash_graz @khleedril I played a bit with rust on these devices and I feel it still is very hard but getting better every year. I find embedded hard anyway, doubly so for RISC-V

A nice #deno integration would be indeed a very useful improvement.
