@epage@hachyderm.io @vavakado@mas.to @KFears@mstdn.games one additional benefit of the rustc build system i'm working to prototype right now which replaces cargo and bootstrap entirely is that it also loses the 9000 transitive deps on the david tolnay cinematic universe. this would avoid blocking on the long tail of gccrs compat while overcoming the two main reasons potential new rust users outside the weapons and surveillance industry (radical queers much like the ones who built rust into what it is now) can't allow themselves to invest long-term into rust as a platform for new heights of safety and empathy.
