Building Rust programs with Goa on SculptOS

General
1

With my limited understanding of Goa and Genode in general, this is simply a hypothetical question to set my expectations for the future.

On Linux and BSD I use Rust’s cargo build tool to build and install many useful software packages. Some of which would make life much easier in SculptOS (a CLI or TUI email client for example).

So I’d just like to know what the scope of this development is. Is the intention to make most (if not all) rust crates build and install on Genode using Goa?

It appears to have a high priority and to be coming along nicely. Genodians - the official developer’s blog - has a number of articles exploring the status of Rust support.
