Rust and to a certain extent go has a bit different dynamics, where the language tools are pretty much inherently cross compilers. they provide easy installers and updaters for tools and they release very often, they also have their own package management systems, the programs are quite standalone in the ( like static programs) so there is not much need for them from system. end-users update compilers very often than not they are using the latest compilers due to the above reasons. these are real concerns when you consider timed releases schedules like yocto and now we have LTS too. I agree with Richard's sentiment that we need robust fetcher integration as a starting point and perhaps full knowledge of dependency management to offer a compelling solution. I would like to see it used when in core and we need answers for the above topics, currently, meta-rust e.g. follows a release cadence of its own which is good fit for developers, maybe not as much for release engineering. > Alex >
