True, my issue is with releasing libraries that need Rust.
It forces the users of the library to install Rust, adding friction, and possibly deal with issues/errors that they are not used to.
Especially on heterogeneous systems: library developed on Linux, user is on Mac/Windows.
One example is my day job where the CI platform is controlled by another department and you can't create your own custom Dockerfile(s), because "security".
On the developers' side Rust is completely fine, in fact IMO Python is much more problematic, despite being an order of magnitude more popular.
- pdimitar 5y agoOh yeah, agreed, distribution becomes little more involved. In these cases Rustler Precompiled is a complete bliss indeed. ^_^
