Yes thank you for the clarification. I have been mostly pleased with the things I've seen and heard from the rust community and I really should dive in.
I am pleased to hear that Cargo, rather than attempting to be a rust-specific make replacement, is a tool that obviates the need for using make or make-like tools by automating the things you would have used it for, only.
Make and Cargo together sounds like just what I wanted to hear, and your hobby OS project sounds like fun.
Finally, I think it's great that Rust will be using Cargo itself soon, but I am curious if the reverse is possible -- if I want to put in the extra effort, can I build my own rust software in make alone WITHOUT Cargo?
- steveklabnik 11y agoYou can absolutely use Rust without Cargo, you'd just call `rustc` yourself directly.
- merlincorey 11y agoThat's just what I wanted to hear! Thanks again.
- kibwen 11y agoTo elaborate on Steve's comment, Cargo fundamentally operates by calling rustc itself. You can pass the `--verbose` flag to Cargo to see the commands that it generates.
