cargo2nix
Generate Nix expressions from Rust Cargo projects for granular, reproducible builds and development environments.
What is cargo2nix?
cargo2nix is a tool that generates Nix expressions from Rust Cargo projects, enabling them to be built and managed within the Nix ecosystem. It solves the problem of achieving reproducible builds and consistent development environments for Rust applications by leveraging Nix's dependency management and purity guarantees.
Rust developers and teams using or adopting the Nix package manager who need reproducible builds, granular caching for CI/CD, and declarative development environments for their projects.
Developers choose cargo2nix because it provides a seamless bridge between Cargo and Nix, offering the best of both worlds: Rust's rich crate ecosystem and Nix's reproducible, isolated builds without requiring a full rewrite of build logic.
