What's with the rust community and terminals? I get that gui's are tedious in those languages, but surely you don't have to write everything in rust? Or has rust become the be-all-and-end-all for them?

You can do GUI/web easily enough in Rust, but as this is DNS and so most users will be network/sysadmin types, their natural habitat is the terminal.

Rust is taking over from C/C++ (as per US Government guidance on using more secure languages) and so is attracting the most hardcore programmers.

p.s. stop being so grumpy!

But we've moved beyond learning commands like a programmer just to operate a program.... Have some respect or at least sympathy for your users

LOL.

LMAO.

Microsoft are using Rust for Windows and Azure

Google are using Rust despite having developed GO

SpaceX and NASA are using Rust for critical life and death systems.

Cloudflare use Rust to obtain extreme high performance.

And many, many more.

They're always so emotional, rustaceans.

They are more easily sloppable.
