Anything. Legit no language comes even close in terms of how easy it is to git clone something and get it to build.

- 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

- adamnemecek 4y agoCorrect but getting a build environment easily is such a quality of life improvement.
