- kouteiheika 10y agoFortunately for Rust that's not an issue since you don't need any special privileges to install it; hell, it doesn't even have to be installed. As long as you point your $PATH to Rust's bin directory you can use it, as far as I know.
- nemaar 10y agoIf you work for a company that does not let you choose your compiler then I guess they probably will be stuck with a language more mainstream anyway. I doubt that the nightly compiler will be the dealbreaker.
- pjmlp 10y agoOn this companies using less mainstream languages like Swift, Go, F#, Haskell, OCaml isn't an issue because the communities don't depend on having nightlies installed.
