My mother was a lifeguard and was swimming in a medium-sized empty pool surrounded by other lifeguards (her colleagues). Her leg cramped badly and she went under, she said the pain of trying to move was unbearable. She crumpled up at the bo

This is one thing where I see Rust (and probably Zig) making headway. A lot of the newer Rust software isn't in package repos yet, but I don't mind doing a Cargo build. It might take a while to compile, but it always seems to just
