[question] Why require nightly? #1116

Closed jsoo1 closed 4 years ago

jsoo1 commented 4 years ago

Hello and thanks for racer!

I am looking to manage my rust tooling through guix and nix instead of via rustup. Guix in particular does not have a nightly toolchain. Is there a reason nightly is required to build from source? Thanks a lot!

jsoo1 commented 4 years ago

Hmm, thinking about it now and after learning more, is nightly required because rustc itself requires nightly?

kngwyu commented 4 years ago

Yeah, it's because of rustc-ap-syntax
