trigger cargo-bins / go-bins installation

[Ali-Amir]

I'd like to setup developer tools through proto/moon. There are many such tools that can be installed via cargo binstall ro go install. I was wondering what's the recommended way to do that in a moon repo.

I'm aware of bins option in both rust and go toolchains (moon v2). However, I'm not aware of how to trigger the installation of said tools. My best guess is that a task in a project that utilizes said toolchains must be run first for moon to trigger these installations. Is there a better way to accomplish this using the bins option?

Alternatively, I'm guessing I could setup these tools via .prototools. Is the only way to accomplish this via .prototools is by writing custom wasm plugins?

To give a concrete example, say I'd like to use process-compose as a development tool in a typescript project. process-compose provides a way to perform installation via go install and it feels natural to add it into go toolchains bins list. However, when running the task in the typescript project, moon would not be able to recognize that a bin from go toolchain must be installed

i ignore proto and just use mise instead.

I'm not really sure why proto exists in light of the existance of mise

moon and proto were built before mise existed.

feel free to use mise instead, but the way proto is used in moon is conditional, unlike mise.
