Hello Guix!

I'm new to both Guix and Guile/Scheme and decided to get my = feet wet by
attempting to package a non-trivial = Rust crate into Guix.

This seems like something others have tried before me with = varying degrees of
success (I found this thread = from a few years ago which doesn't seem to have
resolved in any way https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-01/msg00306.= html).
I ran into a host of issues myself, but = I was able to prototype some changes
which allowed = me to make some progress. Happy to keep hacking on this, but
ultimately I need some insight/guidance on the proper ways to = build this out in
Guix :)

But before I propose any new changes, I = wanted to check, what is the current
state = cargo/crates in Guix from a community perspective?

Are there any = philosophical or technical blockers that preclude pulling in
packages from crates.io, or is it just a matter of chipping away at the = problem?
