G'day all,

Just wanted to let you know I've updated the Rust platform template to the new compiler https://github.com/lukewilliamboswell/roc-platform-template-rust

It's almost identical to the Zig platform template, but uses a roc_std_new crate from the Roc repo for the low-level runtime types like RocStr RocList etc.

Let me know if you use it and run into any issues. I plan to start working on basic-cli and friends next.

:smiley:
