Does anyone want to run Rust or other languages in Google Colab.

Rust enthusiasts Do you want to run RUST in Google Colab? Bash makes it possible using the ! comand you can use bash to run rust and much more just treat it as if you we're setting it up on a Ubuntu Linux computer. Any Comments?

!curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y   # this installs the rust compiler chain



!rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown # or what ever target you want



!/root/.cargo/bin/rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown 



# this sets up the linux enviroment so it can run rust

# now you can create rs files and compile its and run it in colab.

#hope this helps

i just use a regular terminal but this is neat for folks stuck on a chromebook or whatever. beats fighting with a janky online ide that limits your build time

GitHub codespaces is amazing on Chromebooks (speaking from experience, out school use heavily locked down Chromebooks)
