I've installed a compiler for the Rust programming language on Athena.
Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually
resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic
and semantic details. Its design is oriented toward concerns of
“programming in the large”, that is, of creating and maintaining
boundaries – both abstract and operational – that preserve large-system
integrity, availability and concurrency.
To compile a Rust source file sample.rs to an executable file sample:
add rust-lang
rustc sample.rs
