minus-squaretempest@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down4·6 hours agoIt is definitely easier. Don’t try and tell me cargo is not easier than fucking around with the C/CPP build slop I’ve had to screw around with over the years. The coreutils license is bullshit but let’s not pretend languages have not improved in 50 years.
