I’ve often joked that rustup with a little buildscript copy/paste to use the cc crate could be the fastest way to set up a C++ toolchain and project on lots of systems, but I also haven’t received much enthusiasm on the topic from people involved more with upstream.

how about just having rustup bundle zig as part of its tooling… It would make getting Rust going on Windows ten times easier, among a bunch of other benefits.

    pip install rust

Would be awesome!
