Update Rustc package

The version of rust in the repos is from 2022. I am trying to compile a app, but it needs a newer version of rust. Does anyone know when rust will be updated on trisquel.
Can't you just run 'rustup' or whatever the rust-self-updating command is?
I mean, aside from the fact that Rust is evil...
Hello!
Kinda curious, what do you mean that "Rust is evil", is it the compilation times of it that are evil?
It's not actually evil, but I do hate compiling it, compilation times are absurdly slow and resource intensive.
However, if you want to know why "Rust Absolutely Positively Sucks", there's a video for you: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=BB-H5ivmdwQ
Probably with Trisquel 12. Like most of the popular GNU/Linux distros, packages are generally frozen on release for stability. But yeah like Andy says, I thought the Rust people provide a way to get a newer version on their own, independent from the distro...
That shell script: https://sh.rustup.rs
Aramo's version (1.75) comes from early 2024 or late 2023 according to: https://releases.rs/docs/1.75.0/
1.75.0 #
Released on: 28 December, 2023
Branched from master on: 10 November, 2023
