Over the Easter holidays I experimented a bit with building Rust code with meson instead of cargo.

Specifically I tried building a GStreamer plugin with a few dozen Rust dependencies, but the same applies in a similar way to GTK/GNOME applications or literally anything else.

A write-up of the results with a lot of details can be found here: https://coaxion.net/blog/2023/04/building-a-gstreamer-plugin-in-rust-with-meson-instead-of-cargo/
