Session
In this talk, we will address the different existing strategies to package an arbitrary Rust crate. Our goals are to try to minimize the amount of Nix code required to quick start, discussing how to deal with overlays, and finally demonstrating why Nix offers a greater cross-compilation developer experience than Cargo.
