Rust support: We've just found a KDevelop Cargo plugin!

[Miha Čančula]

Hi,

thanks for the interest. Since I'm an active user of KDevelop, and I'm now
getting started with Rust, I am already following Emma's progress. I have
been too spoiled with KDevelop and its colors, so I'm really looking
forward to see colored rust as well.

Regarding my plugin, I have a full-time programming job that doesn't
include Rust, so I can't really commit to maintaining it on KDE
infrastructure. However, if you think it's worth to integrate or use any
part of it in the kdev-rust plugin, feel free to do it, and to ask me for
help if needed. Personally I think they can safely be separate plugins, as
Cargo is really just a build system.

At the same time, I should warn that the plugin is not perfect, it has at
least one large bug: Killing a run job kills the "cargo" process, but not
the executable being run. The other thing that I would like to include is
integration for unit tests. Unfortunately, both are limitations of Cargo
itself, so I can't do much for now.

Thanks,
Miha
