# Rust
## Tools
I am building this table to evaluate tools from the perspective that I would want to use Nix as a replacement for Make in a monorepo environment. "Monorepo" in this case is a shorthand for "many crates being developed in parallel with the clients that depend upon them."
| | Dependency cache strategy | Cross-compilation | Acceptable for Nixpkgs |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- |
| [[Crane]] | One derivation for all dependencies | | |
| [[buildRustPackage]] | | | |
| [[buildRustCrate]] | | | |
| [[cargo2nix]] | | | no |
| [[crate2nix]] | | | no |
| [[naersk]] | | | |
Nothing short of caching each dependency in a separate crate will make a tool acceptable for monorepo development.
