noboilerplate VS cargo-binstall

NoBoilerplate [1] is a great Rust-oriented YouTube channel that's less tutorial and more of a tour of the strengths and foibles of the language. The videos are a great springboard, because they are entertaining as much as informative and inject a bit of hype and hope for when you're battling the compiler.

My obsidian source code is here: https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/

All my videos are built in compile-checked markdown, transcript sourcecode available here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate

I make videos for folks like you! And if you want to read, well my markdown is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/blob/main/scripts/24-rust-data-modelling.md

YouTubers I found very helpful: - https://www.youtube.com/c/LetsGetRusty - https://www.youtube.com/@codetothemoon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygL_xcavzQ4&t=1020s&ab_channel=DerekBanas - https://www.youtube.com/c/NoBoilerplate

I pull out all the rust examples into main.rs with literate, and the same with the Cargo.toml. My makefile is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate

My friend Tris has mentioned many times how positive his experience has been of the comments on his wildly popular Rust videos on YouTube.

Unfortunately not really usable in production (for me) until https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall/issues/1 is fixed :( Really much looking forward to it though, as I think it's a great addition to the Rust ecosystem!

Oh looks like cargo-binstall is currently broken (https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall/issues/1094)

Unfortunately, I ended up running into an issue with the zip support, but I'll come back to it once this is fixed: https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall/issues/1080

I've encountered a strange lifetime error when developing new features in cargo-binstall:

Once you feel like releasing it, could you please add binstall support?

I think in a similar vein there is cargo-binstall that is a cargo install alternative that attempts to use pre-built binary artifacts when possible

I hope ld64 and lld add supports for plugin-opt I'm trying to enable cross-lang-lto on MacOS but failed due to -plugin-opt not supported.

You can use cargo-binstall --install-path to install binaries to custom locations.

If you happen to install a lot of things with cargo, check out cargo-binstall: https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall

It'll fetch the binary release from the repo so you don't have to compile it yourself.

I'd recommend to use cargo-binstall, which can download pre-built artifacts from github release.
