Yeah not really sure what that was supposed to mean in relation to Rust. To me that statement would only make sense for languages that require some sort of runtime/interpreter installed rather than natively compiled.
eg Python and Perl get shipped by default in most Linux distros base image, whereas Java or Ruby don't tend to be.
Whereas C doesn't have a compiler shipped in some/most base images - despite C being about as first class as languages get on Unix.
- steveklabnik 10y agoYeah. I was also wondering if they meant "available through my distro's package manager", in which case, that's been happening a lot lately. Debian and Fedora will both have initial packages in their next releases, and work is ongoing with a number of linuxes.
