What is the idea?

It would be good to see how easy/challenging it is to create a plugin for conda that is written in a non-Python language, e.g., a subcommand that's developed in Rust or C.

Why is this needed?

To further expand the scope and possibilities of conda's new plugin feature.

Deliverables

• A yes or no recommendation for whether this is something that we would like to include our examples repository. A detailed explanation of this decision should be included in this issue
• A prototype that will be expanded upon later that we can use in our examples repository (this is an optional deliverable)

Time box

Three days (24 total hours); if deliverables are not complete after this period, please write up everything you have learned in this issue and report it back to the core-dev team.
