> Yet, people find static Go and Rust binaries a useful feature People find junk food convenient, but encouraging people to form a habit based on it is no favour to them. Both situations prioritize instant gratification, the difference is that with downloading random binaries, you really only need one of them to lead to trouble for it not to have been worth it. > some notable problem with the Linux ecosystem How so? Care to name a platform which has "solved" this problem? They're all either "go and download a random binary from a random site and plonk it somewhere/run an installer that does god-knows-what" or lead you to installing "apps" that are so isolated from one other that general purpose productivity on such a platform is almost impossible.
