Description

I was told that support of Rust was experimental so I can expect hickups and that's understandable but currently it seems external crates are not supported. Since you can't really do much in Rust without external crates, it basically means that Meson doesn't really support Rust. IMO until this issue is addressed in some way, support for Rust shouldn't be advertised at all.
