The anti-Rust circlejerk is strong, wow.
I have loads of software written in Rust installed, many of which I compile myself. Not once has the language choice been an issue that I've had with the software. Some of that software may be missing features, but that has little to do with the language and more to do with my decision to install v0.1.4 of the software.
Python, on the other hand...
And while we're on the topic of coreutils, why does every C and C++ project I look at require me to install dozens of random libraries myself? I guess because they're dynamically linked, which is cool and all, except the page to install each dependency has an encyclopedia of a README written in 1984 in a text file. It's not usually an issue, just annoying.
