@p @ins0mniak @vic Best about Rust is trivial programs which could often just be purely ISO C, not even POSIX, then end up with absolute hundreds of direct dependencies (of course lot of them vendoring non-Rust code because they can't do package management) upon a Rust rewrite.

It's not just mere JS fetishism, it's NPM fetishism. And I feel like it's more like enterprise Java than C++.

Want to bootstrap Rust from source? Hope you like dealing with 5+ versions of LLVM…

I wish Rust would crumble under it's own weight but sadly software culture doesn't seems to work this way.
