An author here: we're working on the nixcrates project to remove cargo and allow for closer integration between nix and crates.io, so far you can check out the project at https://github.com/nixcloud/nixcrates (joachim and paul are super people, hit them up if you're interested in contracting them) the net/http stuff is currently incompatible with the most recent changeset, I'll get working on it tomorrow morning HKT to make it work, I have to refactor it to suit the new stabilized API. Anyway, this attention was a bit earlier than expected, still have a couple of weeks to go before stabilizing. I hope you guys can kick the tires, tell us what you don't understand and please comment on the API because we want something sensible. We're using the late Pieter Hintjens' C4 so please hop on board and collaborate!

We have the early stages of a tutorial here: https://gitlab.com/dmichiels/dochttp/blob/master/http_todo.m... , it still has to be converted into a decent HOWTO. Hopefully this will give insight into designing applications using Fractalide.

Why do you have "remove cargo" in your roadmap?

[setori88]

There is too much cognitive dissonance between nix and cargo. It might be better to get nix, a package manager, to do the job of cargo, a package manager.

Nix is very cool tech. Thanks for sharing this exciting news!
