The Rust compiler developers are smart guys, but they don't understand that bootstrapping Rust is not supposed to be so hard.
So then, what does smart mean actually?
The issue with rust is not smart as in intellect, it's that rust is targeted at specific use cases - which is standalone static applications (firefox, and containers that are self contained) and not distros (shared lib, long lived versions and toolchains.) I think that throwing remarks that could be misinterpreted isn't really going to help us here and we should look at what we can change that's within our power instead. — Sincerely, William Brown Senior Software Engineer, 389 Directory Server SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
