Rust Crates proposition

[MartinFillon]

Well, I know this might get deleted as I talked a bit about it with APE from Paris. Tho I think I can try my best and give it a shot.

As you might know rust is a language gaining popularity amongst developers. That's why I would like to propose the ideas of adding some allowed crates, based on specific versions or not, to help student discover rust in the best way. For a simple example we can talk about random. Which is not supported natively in rust (its not really safe and as an open source rust dev myself I understand that point). But as some project might need it in the future or right now it would be a great addition.

Also we can argue for other crates that I think could be useful such as :

• https://crates.io/crates/num-bigint
• https://crates.io/crates/clap

That can help do the projects easily.

If you have any questions, regards thoughts on this please comment them so that maybe we can have a talk about them.

Rust libraries are managed per-project with Cargo.toml and cannot be installed globally. If you need to build the project in an offline environment, use cargo vendor to include the dependencies in the project source tree.

use cargo vendor to include the dependencies in the project source tree.

i was doing that but was wondering if i could just not use that because it could be a bit problematic for the repo size.
