  I’ve often joked that rustup with a little buildscript copy/paste to use the cc crate could be the fastest way to set up a C++ toolchain and project on lots of systems, but I also haven’t received much enthusiasm on the topic from people involved more with upstream.

    I did that yesterday with a project: I took a Rust package that compiled a C project, then had the Rust project generate a C-compatible DLL that I could consume in dotnet. It was so much easier (for me; I am bad at build systems) that I plan to do that for future projects. There’s just something about `cargo run`…

  how about just having rustup bundle zig as part of its tooling… It would make getting Rust going on Windows ten times easier, among a bunch of other benefits.
