Possibly add Rustup to BinExec own applications

I was looking around through the SSH environment Friday and I noticed we do have rustc, cargo and friends available, which is really nice. But I was wondering if it'd be possible to get our Rust toolchains manageable through rustup (with the global default being the stable toolchain we have now)? As far as I can tell, we don't have administrative permissions in the env so currently our options are pretty much limited to either having both the global /usr/local/bin/* toolchain and a self-managed rustup install (which is not a recommended way to run, but somewhat supported) or having only the stable toolchain which can be a tad limiting for development purposes and for using certain crates.

RivenSkaye You can use your ~/bin directory and put there your binaries. If the binary already exists in the system you need to change the order to search the binaries by modifying the $PATH variable, e.g.: export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

That much I know, $RUSTUP_HOME currently resides in $HOME/.rust/ with $CARGO_HOME below that and the rust installation dir prepended to $PATH. I was just hoping we could see if a system-wide rustup could be a supported setup to prevent possible issues. E.g. the linked page from the Rust docs mentions adding the path parenting Rust (in this case /usr/local) as an existing toolchain, but alas, that errors too (probably RW perms missing?).

I'll just keep using my own Rust toolchains then. Thanks for responding though!
