On Linux, the default visibility is public (on Windows I think it's private). How much of an effect would the default visibility have when linking if most of the symbols in Rust will be kept private?

If you work somewhere that you feel that talking about a "moral duty" would be laughed out of a room, please take a moment to consider whether you want to continue toiling for that organization. Look at the page for curl.se: Fastl

Your link says what I said: it's jury-rig; jerry-built is something else, but people get confused and say jerry-rig; so many people do this that it's 'not wrong'.

I don't know what the experience is like on Windows, but on other platforms it barely works. Super buggy. Super flakey. Super slow. The audio in conferencing also renders it unusable.

Ok, I thought you were saying callback hell is cool. But I think you're saying async-first is the way it should be and the runtime should handle it. Which is a good idea in most cases. I think Go is pretty awesome for this approach.
