It depends on what you mean by an addition to the ecosystem. You can pretty easily write an external library or program in rust, and then create a Sage interface to that using Cython or popen. In that scenario the language used to implement your package is irrelevant. If instead you want to write a standard piece of Sage in rust, that would be more of a problem. Sage is built from source and ships its own miniature linux distribution down to the compilers. It would have to be an extemely compelling package to justify adding the whole rust toolchain to the mix. I'd go farther and say that there are serious maturity problems in the rust ecosystem that make it impossible in the near future. Even if sage was willing to use system packages in this case, there are, for those same reasons, no distributions attempting to correctly package rust software right now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
