> That means you have a mix of FORTRAN, ada, c, rust, some custom internal corporate language, and so on all mixed with the C++. If your build system cannot handle that mess i'm not interested

In that case I would just use the rust toolchain which I'm sure can handle this stew.

Is this really true? Then why not use the rust tool chain for c++...

[spkm]

Probably not, I'm just wondering why a C++ toolchain is supposed to handle this though.

There is no c++ toolchain and I.just described why there never should be.

Toolchains should never be language specific. That is an antipattern of large projects

Indeed, likewise I suspect cargo doesn't fetch the correct version of gsl or fftw3...
