Re: Hard Rust requirements from May onward



Hi,

The main selling point of Rust is that it avoids some classes of

I think we need to create infrastructure for that anyway -- there's lots of C++ programs with similarly sloppy dependency management now, especially anything using dear imgui and shipping twenty copies of stb -- in that ecosystem it is completely normal to ship a library as source code that needs to be compiled with a configuration header on the include path, and Rust code is refreshingly sensible compared to that.
