rust attributes should really have docs...

tf is "no_mangle"

and now everyone and their mother checks 12 books and 3 AIs to guess what it means because it has no docs

also all of macros is frankly confusing

    Ahhhh... New shiny languages finding out what legacy is... I chuckle that this is a problem from 2016. I'm also an asshole that programs in C++ and have had to support both versions of the gcc C++ abi on Linux...

    yeah i guess that external shit with the rust eco system is not great really. On paper it's fine, but as soon as different ABIs come into play, it just gets chaotic. I guess that's just the nature of that matter. And i also hope it improves at some point.

    If you stay within the language entirely it's good though.

    no_mangle is a bit obvious
    but why the fuck rust doesn't have a easily accessible listing of all built-in attributes is fucking infuriating
