Rust is designed to be built from source, and the development toolchain is light enough to keep on a VPS if that's your bag. If you have Cargo installed, compiling and installing from source is easier than using NPM.

Or, you know, in a Docker container...

I build pretty much everything that's not C/C++ and/or Go using a Docker container now.

When you're working in a team, it's also an amazing way to share the build environment


I couldn't care less about Rust. The fact that this project used it is irrelevant to me and I have no desire to setup a Rust build env.
