Rust is only that way because nobody uses it. Don't worry, somebody will node.js it some day.
-
stop68703yC++ ist that way, because at unix has been the only environment with proper package managment.

sariel85873yRust is a joke because crates is a joke.
You can literally reserve core library names and sit on them forever.
There's no oversight, no review.
At least with c bindings they will either be packaged together or reference the correct one in the make file. -
There is one benefit of C++ allowing fucked up code. When you run into a fucked up programmer, you will generally see that the code is pretty fucked up just by the way it is written. Consider this an early warning sign.

Geoxion9033y@sariel I don't think you can upload a crate name 'core' or 'std', so there's really no confusion there
Name squatting is annoying, but not really a big issue. There's never any confusion about what you're pulling in -
sariel85873y@Geoxion and this is the problem with the rust community in a nutshell.
"It's not a problem, it's a feature!"
I don't know who rustaceans think they're lying to, and at this point I doubt they even know either.
Until crate gets fixed you just can't trust rust. -
Geoxion9033y@sariel I agreed with you that it's annoying. But it really just isn't a big issue. Every crate has a unique name. I'd understand your confusion if multiple crates can have the same name, but they don't. I don't really know what you find confusing.
Also, I don't have an agenda. I really like the language because it allows me to write better code. It's fine if you prefer something else! -
Why is everyone creating cults against languages, rust is to rustecians what elon musk is to (insert fucked up group name) , rust devs think rust is code jesus and he's coming to save us all , and he will burn us all in hell if we do not convert every piece of software into rust.

@EpicofGilgamesh I told a coworker today. Right now I am developing primarily C++. That means I am an acolyte of the C++ religion. If I was developing Java I would be a follower of the way of Java. If I were developing Javascript I would be in the Javascript Gate Cult and would have killed myself by now.
This probably deserves to be its own rant. -
Why are people hating on Rust because it just works. Is it _really_ a worse build system just because you have to type less to get things working? 🤔

Please don't use OS specific libraries/binaries/build tools...etc
I'm talking to C/C++ users here. once in a while I see something on github maybe im just curios maybe I find your niche code useful but then you use make (who the hell still uses make?) or your library depends on another library than can only be mindlessly installed in a unix environment. and the most obscene of all a solution file...
thank god for rust.
