re: mild annoyance at being suggested rust, technically a subtoot
@q66 if i want to make a one-line fix to a library some programs depend on, that’ll take me 5-20 minutes with something written in C or C++.with rust it’s all this overhead of having to pry apart the build system and override the crate dependency, then waiting forever to get any output from it, and it’ll take all fucking day to test each configuration. putting that fix in a distro until upstream gets around to merging it, and for the fix to propagate to its users? lol, lmao
