Re: rust work in progress conflicts

Hi Eric!

Nice!

1. Try using 'guix environment --ad-hoc gcc gcc:lib'.

2. I thought about this. Maybe we could add a cargo subcommand that
interacts with the guix/nix daemon directly [0] and then have a small
cargo-build-system that wraps it. I think this would be neat because
we could avoid repackaging all rust crates and nixos could maybe reuse
it too. Otherwise we are rewriting a lot of stuff that cargo already
does really well (not like python and ruby package managers for
example)
