Hallo Olivier, that would be the first compiled language other than C/C++:-) As you noticed there is little infrastructure in place for such a case yet.
The ToolChain is implicitly a C++ toolchain. That would need some extending to make that work well with rust. Maybe add a flag for the language to the toolchain, if all of its interfaces makes sense in the rust use case? That would then require a bit of work to make the UI useful with more than one language, but that should be manageable. Kits are just a grab-bag of settings, so it should not be a problem to add any information you want to them. They will become bigger as all kits have the same settings, but it is perfectly ok to have some kits with unset values. Adding toolchains for different languages is no problem at all from the kits perspective, but making sure not to introduce a regression for the C/C++ toolchains is probably a challenge;-). We already have more than one build system in the kits: qmake and cmake. I do not see a problem adding another one. At some point we will need to think about something to provide filtered views on the kits (e.g. to only show settings relevant to cmake based projects or to rust projects or qmake projects or whatever), but that is a different issue.
