Project mention: Static search trees: 40x faster than binary search | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-31
Well, I don't use makefiles to deploy software with Rust. I also have never used lex or yacc, but I bet there are similar tools in the ecosystem, or wrappers for those. That would obviate what I will offer below.
Often a new language in a project would define an application boundary. So those would be different containers or services. I may deploy via container images, or an OS specific installer, etc. If we aren't crossing an application boundary I may use FFI. Sometimes I use https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/ to smooth that over for C dependencies. There is also a nice concept called a build.rs file: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-script-examp.... There's also tools like: https://github.com/casey/just and https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/
I rarely use multiple languages with Rust. A lot of interpreted languages have bindings through crates and can go in to a project through Cargo. If it involves JS/TS on desktop, I'm usually using Tauri for that. Guess it depends on the system?
Hopefully that helps. You can also still use a Makefile if you want I just haven't dealt with one in a long time.

We are using cargo-nextest to run the tests in Github Workflows. Some crates do not support running plain cargo test anymore, prefer cargo nextest run instead. You can install cargo-nextest with cargo install cargo-nextest.

Project mention: Build a Database in Four Months with Rust and 647 Open-Source Dependencies | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-15
There is `cargo-deny` that handles some enforcement: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny. Doesn't handle authors, but I suspect it's easy to add?
There is really just a handful of crates that nearly often get pulled in and probably like 5 authors across them.
Supply chain harderning is pretty easy in rust: caro-deny, cargo-suply-chain, cargo-crev, cargo-vet, cargo-{s}bom and probably a few more I can't remember.

maelstrom
Maelstrom is a fast Rust, Go, and Python test runner that runs every test in its own container. Tests are either run locally or distributed to a clustered job runner. (by maelstrom-software)
Project mention: Show HN: Maelstrom – A Hermetic, Clustered Test Runner for Python and Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-09We use our own small wrappers for these syscalls, built on top of Rust's libc crate. All our wrappers live here:
https://github.com/maelstrom-software/maelstrom/blob/main/cr...
For bind mounts, you want to look at open_tree and move_mount. For "regular" mounts, you want to look at fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount, and move_mount.

I'm writing this to explain some of the problems cargo-c solves and hopefully give few pointers since the README containing all the documentation maybe grew to be fairly big.

Project mention: Build a Database in Four Months with Rust and 647 Open-Source Dependencies | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-15Cargo currently has `cargo tree`, which prints out a dependency tree. There's an extension to cargo which also shows how many people have the ability to push to your dependencies, titled `cargo-supply-chain`.
