Notes from this youtube video by Tris

Aim: use Rust-based tools for as much as possible Everything in Rust and a single cargo install away.

There are a few dependencies that aren't installed on an out-of-the-box Ubuntu install. So I've prepended apt-get lines where necessary.

sccache

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libssl-dev
cargo install sccache
RUSTC_WRAPPER=sccache cargo install {package}

then in my cargo.stuff

[ ! -d ~/.cargo ] && return # do nothing unless rust is installed
.if . "$HOME/.cargo/env"
if [ -x "$(which sccache)" ]; then
  alias cargoi='RUSTC_WRAPPER=sccache cargo install';
else
  alias cargoi='cargo install'
fi

so then we can use cargoi instead of cargo install to use sccache.

nu

nu is a shell inspired by powershell, built around nu language. Views input as structured, like powershell, rather than text like bash.
