vivekanandan_ks	Hi All Yesterday, I started looking for setting up an environment to learn rust😅. I dwelled on setting up the environment and basic build through the help of some wiki and mainly vimjoyer's video. Here's a hello world template of mine. https://github.com/vivekanandan-ks/ksv-rust-try/blob/main/flake.nix I have these configured: Devshells : using nixpkgs and cargo, rustc etc (only stable from nixpkgs) using fenix for the toolchain (since this can be used for stable, beta, nightly releases) Packages: plain: pkgs.rustPlatform.buildRustPackage naersk fenix + plain fenix + naersk Any suggestion or improvements over this please😅	07:57:06
K900	Honestly if your goal is to learn Rust, just `nix-shell -p rustc cargo`	07:58:31
vivekanandan_ks	My goal is to package mainly, also wanted to learn rust on the way😅	08:03:36
K900	If you want to package for nixpkgs, the only thing you can use is `rustPlatform`	08:04:12
K900	No out of tree dependencies are allowed	08:04:24
@acidbong:envs.net	In reply to @vivekanandan_ks:matrix.org My goal is to package mainly, also wanted to learn rust on the way😅 then it's just a matter of creating a package with `rustPlatform.buildRustPackage` and a devshell with `inputsFrom = [thatPackage]; nativeBuildInputs = [rust-analyzer];` and a formatter of your choice (rustfmt or genemichaels)	08:12:13
vivekanandan_ks	Looks like there's more for me to learn. But it somewhat feels easier than the rabbit hole I went for python packaging in nix🥲 Looks like rust toolchain ecosystem is better	08:52:19
