I get this impression that the Rust people think they are a stage where Rust is a viral phenom but it's really not. Nevertheless, they are behaving like its viral and trying to force it down everybody's throats, even though I never heard of some software package or system that was built natively in rust that truly went viral. The other day I tried to install a python package and - big surprise - it REQUIRED me to install a rust toolchain to install the python package! Well, that package went straight into the dumpster (i'm on WSL which DOES NOT have a rust toolchain)!
This "we're viral" behavior when "it's really not" is very childish.
- redundantly 2y agoWhere are you seeing these "we're viral" statements?
- Permik 2y agoIf you're using WSL, then you can just run the linux rustup installer to have a linux version of the toolchain installed.
- orf 2y agoWas this comment written by an 80 year old who’s watched a Fox News segment on Rust? It definitely reads like that. wsl ‘DOES’ have a rust toolchain, nobody is saying rust is going viral (what on earth…), you tried to install the python packages’ sdist rather than the wheel. Get it together.
- Yeask 2y agoNot wanting a huge dependency tree is something understandable by any seasoned developer. Was your comment wrote by a junior javascript developer?

- steveklabnik 2y ago> (i'm on WSL which DOES NOT have a rust toolchain)! This is plainly false.
