# Rust {#rust}

## Overview
* Nixpkgs includes packages for the Rust compiler and Cargo build tool, described in [the next section](#compiling-rustc-and-cargo).
* Nixpkgs includes two low-level primitives for packaging Rust crate:
* [`buildRustPackage`](#compiling-rust-applications-with-cargo) creates a single monolithic Nix derivation which invokes Cargo.
* [`buildRustCrate`](#compiling-rust-crates-using-nix-instead-of-cargo) creates a separate Nix derivation for each crate dependency; these derivations invoke `rustc` directly.
* There are also several [community-maintained alternative overlays](#using-community-rust-overlays).
