Rust is different as there is no runtime.
- onlyspaceghost 7mo agobut it still increases compile time, attack surface area, bandwidth use, etc.
- b00ty4breakfast 7mo agoI'm not very familiar with rust but I'm pretty sure it has a runtime. Even C has a runtime. Unless you're talking about an "environment" eg Node or the like
- embedding-shape 7mo agoIndeed Rust has a runtime, I'm not sure why the whole "Rust has no runtime" comes from, I keep seeing it repeated from time to time, but can't find the origin of this, I don't think it's ever been true?
- b00ty4breakfast 7mo agoThe only thing I can think is that folks are getting confused by stuff like the JRE and Node being called "runtime environments".
- vsgherzi 7mo agoI’m assuming you’re referring to an async runtime like tokio. In my option the dependency problem exists with or without tokio. Tokio is probably one of the best dependencies
- wiseowise 7mo agoYes, instead we pay with requiring supercomputers and 10 hour compile times to process billion of those “atomic architecture”.
