    The video’s message is that Rust is positioned to be the universal programming language of the future - one that developers can learn once and use across all domains throughout their entire careers, similar to how C served that role for previous generations of programmers.

          Unfortunately. But it feels and looks like JS, they then realized they needed typing, so they slapped Python typehints on top, but made them essentially optional, but still enforce strict typing. Then they realized that using installed libraries was too convenient, so they shit on the worst dependency system I’ve ever seen.

            Wait, you’re bringing up Python and saying Rust has the worst dependency system you’ve ever seen?

              At least I can manage Pythons packages without pip (eg. with pacman) and it doesn’t need to compile ~500 packages for a program as complicated as hello world. I can probably compile the kernel faster than most of the small shit rust programs I need on my server.
