@protos @RustyCrab @syzygy @vii @p @mischievoustomato still the default is centralized, but fine.
why should i use rust and not say, ocaml or pascal or something else which doesn't has bad vibes defining their stuff?
because it's "memory safe"? cargo uses libcurl and openssl iirc, and those two things are prime targets for a memory safe implementation.
see, you can use rust if you want, that's fine. i have zero interest in it, i rather learn the next fringe language.
