@lina As a MacPorts maintainer and a FreeBSD sysadmin, I run into two problems with rust:
1) It is unwieldy to maintain rust and cargo, so both are often out of date on MacPorts.
2) On FreeBSD some random library (e.g. librsvg) that depends on rust/cargo causes Poudriere to rebuild rust every time some build dependency is updated. This usually takes several hours on my build machine. For this reason, and that it adds a lot of extra packages, MacPorts still doesn't use librsvg built using rust.

@thomasfuchs The initial betas for Xcode worked perfectly, but more recent betas have introduced a incompatibility or two under MacPorts, e.g. librsvg.

@cyberspook @Suiseiseki Not arrogant. They have been saying GNU/Linux is coming on the desktop for how many years? I’ve got three #raspberry_pi machines for data acquisition. The GUI is acceptable for system administration. However, I happen to prefer an OS that allows me to get work done.

@Suiseiseki So I guess you’re using Linux as your desktop. Sorry!
P.S. I don’t feed trolls.
Please do a little more research before dissing my choices. My contributions to OSS go back to the 1990s.

@Suiseiseki I well aware of that! However, I have no interest in wasting my time using Byzantine keystroke based pseudo GUI editors like Vim or Emacs. I left those behind when I went from DOS 2.1 and Editix/Wordix to the Mac in 1987.

@nixCraft nano for quick edits, #bbedit for everything else!
