This appears to be implying that rolling your own libraries from scratch is not a roadblock in C and C++, but somehow would be in Rust. That's a double standard

Rust makes it easy to use third-party dependencies, and if you don't want to use third-party dependencies, then you're no worse off than in C.

- School-Cotton 2y agoIf you can tolerate a garbage collector and interpreter overhead, sure. Rust's main niche is things that would have formerly been written in C++.
