Compared to what?
- freilanzer 4y agoPython?
- bsnnkv 4y agoFor me: compared to projects in languages with less mature tooling and compilers less capable of preventing entire classes of errors by default.
- adamnemecek 4y agoAnything. Legit no language comes even close in terms of how easy it is to git clone something and get it to build.
- hu3 4y agoI'd argue Go projects tend to be easier to build since they require nightly Go builds much less frequently (I don't even remember a project that ever required nightly Go tbh). https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=rust%20nightly&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
- Keats 4y agoMaybe it's better now with Go modules but the last couple of repos I wanted to contribute a few years back just didn't build. They both were relying on the master branch of some other projects that had breaking changes.
- earthling8118 4y agoI've had the absolute opposite luck with go. There's a lot of good things made in it but I prefer to not be involved in them. A nightly toolchail for rust is trivial to acquire to the point of it taking only a few seconds
- dividedbyzero 4y agoBut contributing takes a lot more than just a working build environment.
- adamnemecek 4y agoCorrect but getting a build environment easily is such a quality of life improvement.
