For me "The Critical Flaw" of rust is its compiler. And requirent of 12 GB of disk space to compile just the frontend of compiler. Even GCC will all frontends(C, C++, Ada, Fortran, Modula-2, JIT) requires less space.

But joke is probably about "rewrite in rust" culture.

Wow that's enormous. I'll have to learn more about that. Thanks for the info!

Maybe someone ought to rewrite rust in C.

that's because Rust is more modern and in modern days we don't rly have hard disk limitation, also it's probably because the compiler tells you the solution to most problems

and in modern days we don't rly have hard disk limitation

well if you are a corporation, that's true. Otherwise, not much

I mean c'mon, every pc that can compile rust in a reasonable time has at least 20gb of storage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

yeah but I don't want to use up 20 GB just for a single project. It's not like my hard drive is 80% free. more like 10% free, even though it's large, because I'm using it and I'm already selective on what I'm doing on it
