I just literally installed the compiler toolset and did the first demo in the tutorial. I have never seen anything so large before, but I'm not a coder and not a windows coder.

The only windows code I have compiled has been FreePascal and that wasn't this crazy.

Similar to what sebcat showed above, I've done a bit of assembly on systems 8bit and up including nasm on linux, so not used to binaries with this sort of baggage. Wasn't trying to paint rust in a negative light, just came as a surprise when I ran that first compile.

It's all good! I'm not assuming any malice. First impressions are also very important.
