Please don't use OS specific libraries/binaries/build tools...etc

I'm talking to C/C++ users here. once in a while I see something on github maybe im just curios maybe I find your niche code useful but then you use make (who the hell still uses make?) or your library depends on another library than can only be mindlessly installed in a unix environment. and the most obscene of all a solution file...

thank god for rust.

    Rust is only that way because nobody uses it. Don't worry, somebody will node.js it some day.

    C++ ist that way, because at unix has been the only environment with proper package managment.

    Rust is a joke because crates is a joke.

    You can literally reserve core library names and sit on them forever.

    There's no oversight, no review.

    At least with c bindings they will either be packaged together or reference the correct one in the make file.

    Someone will eventually code the rust compiler in node js

    There is one benefit of C++ allowing fucked up code. When you run into a fucked up programmer, you will generally see that the code is pretty fucked up just by the way it is written. Consider this an early warning sign.

    @sariel I don't think you can upload a crate name 'core' or 'std', so there's really no confusion there

    Name squatting is annoying, but not really a big issue. There's never any confusion about what you're pulling in

    @Geoxion and this is the problem with the rust community in a nutshell.

    "It's not a problem, it's a feature!"

    I don't know who rustaceans think they're lying to, and at this point I doubt they even know either.

    Until crate gets fixed you just can't trust rust.

    @sariel I agreed with you that it's annoying. But it really just isn't a big issue. Every crate has a unique name. I'd understand your confusion if multiple crates can have the same name, but they don't. I don't really know what you find confusing.

    Also, I don't have an agenda. I really like the language because it allows me to write better code. It's fine if you prefer something else!

    Why is everyone creating cults against languages, rust is to rustecians what elon musk is to (insert fucked up group name) , rust devs think rust is code jesus and he's coming to save us all , and he will burn us all in hell if we do not convert every piece of software into rust.

    @EpicofGilgamesh I told a coworker today. Right now I am developing primarily C++. That means I am an acolyte of the C++ religion. If I was developing Java I would be a follower of the way of Java. If I were developing Javascript I would be in the Javascript Gate Cult and would have killed myself by now.

    This probably deserves to be its own rant.

    @Demolishun it should be, because rust does suck in some ways

    @Demolishun already did. Not me . I know a guy use nodejs for every cases.

    Why are people hating on Rust because it just works. Is it _really_ a worse build system just because you have to type less to get things working? 🤔
