What's so horrible about it? It's a very mature toolchain, and has better modern (C++11) support than the version of G++ on my Linux box.

- jhasse 13y agoThe Express version restricts distribution of the binaries created with it IIRC. Also it's quite a heavy download compared to MinGW. Please keep in mind that I'm not comparing writing C++ programs with MinGW vs. VC++. Rust just needs a linker for some tasks, which should be lightweight.
- Arelius 13y agoNo one is suggesting that it should be the exclusive supported toolchain. It may strictly be a larger download than MinGW, but it's certainly less painful and confusing. Sure, Rust may just need a linker, but MinGW is anything but lightweight.
