Well, then the comment they made about essentially rewriting Cargo is probably accurate.

Doesn’t seem like it’s a valuable contribution to their end goal though.

I do want to point out (for others, you know this) that Cargo has a lot of environment variables that can be used to improve its usage inside other build systems, e.g. using a shared target directory for reusing compilation of dependencies: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variab...



Right, that's why we introduced the build plan feature, so that you don't have to re-implement Cargo, you can use Cargo to spit out the stuff you need instead. :)
