Why would you use 6 month old rust?
- nindalf 6y agoSome OS-arch combinations might not have the latest one available. This is an issue for OSes that aren’t Windows, Mac or Linux and architectures that aren’t x64 or aarch64.
- rapsey 6y agoAny developer relying on OS provided rust installation is just making life needlessly complicated for himself.
- nindalf 6y agoI agree, but if a developer is developing on a tier 2 or tier 3 platform, they can’t necessarily rely on rustup either.
- Ar-Curunir 6y agobut how many of these folks are compiling bevy on these tier 2 platforms?
- sanxiyn 6y agoI agree it should be avoided if possible, but sometimes it can't be avoided.
- drran 6y agoDistribution does integration. It's better to use a bit older version, but properly integrated with other parts of the system.
