Did you create this account just to lament rust hype? I mean, it is excessive. But I also don't think it is manufactured. We are more like some mostly benign evangelical denomination trying to get everyone to see the joys of Ferris.
Honestly, if the language actually looked nicer, great. But I mean the source code looks like a steaming pile of crate-includes. We can do better, seriously.
You have touched on my biggest complaint, the supply chain depth. It has definite advantages, but a signed and vetted set of crates is sorely needed. I could always just write everything my self like I would in c, but the crates are right there...
