I'm still kind of baffled that the rust people saw what js was doing with npm and saying "that's a great idea", let's do that!

Or maybe it's just a lot of previous js devs doing this.

Rust has a HUGE supply chain security problem

"If only Rust had this feature, we would use it for all our greenfield projects!" Said nobody. Rust adoption is stagnating not because it's missing some weird feature pushed by programming language theory fanatics, but because of a lack of focus on solving the practical problems that developers are facing

"You want to know why no company outside of AWS is making SDKs for Rust? Because it has no official HTTP library. Nobody at $COMPANY will bet their career on a 0.10 third-party package that may be abandoned in the near future or be backdoored overnight.

"But Rust is not designed to build HTTP services. It's for embedded programming!!"

Blahblahblah... For the better or the worse, today even your toothbrushes and USB cables are WiFi-connected"

What even is this article?

@sotolf well, you appeared on my feed so I think it's pretty appropriate to react to your post (?)

Do you understand how social media works?

@diegovsky it's not my post it's a link to something someone else posted, you don't need to talk to me about errors you think the writer did, why should I care about your opinion, especially when you coe with your anti furry bigotry as well.
