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/

squee. I finally got around to enabling the #rust #cargo sparse protocol and I. am. in. love.

in ~/.cargo/config.toml, put:

[registries.crates-io]
protocol = "sparse"

The speed difference for 'cargo update', particularly on a smaller project, is amazing and delightful.
