Good evening,
I had a quick lock at it. Installed the Debian XEmacs21 packages,
downloaded rust-mode.el. It didn't load, so I started loading
additional libraries it required, copied from my GNU Emacs tree:
rx.el, pcase.el, macroexp.el. No luck. Had a look at
rust-mode.el and realized it required lexical binding. Checked
the XEmacs documentation[1]. It appears XEmacs has some features
in that direction, but coding is required, you can't just set a
variable to enable it. And then do the same for all the libraries
needed---I stopped after three, could be a long daisy-chain. So
my guess is that you have a long road ahead of you if you try to
make it work.

Is there any XEmacs effort out there? [Besides Steve Youngs'
SXEmacs?]
> [Is there even anyone reading this newsgroup?]
[Yes. But I took the plunge and abandoned XEmacs on Christmas Day
2008]
