Wait, you're bringing up Python and saying Rust has the worst dependency system you've ever seen?
At least I can manage Pythons packages without pip (eg. with pacman) and it doesn't need to compile ~500 packages for a program as complicated as hello world. I can probably compile the kernel faster than most of the small shit rust programs I need on my server.
You can manage Python packages? When I try to
pip install -r requirements.txt, it fails because I'm on Python 3.12 instead of 3.11, except it doesn't tell me that's why so I spend the next hour debugging that only to later find out that I also installed the packages globally instead of in a venv and now I need to uninstall them to unfuck my other environments.But hey, if it works for you, then that's great.
I can manage it very easily. In fact, I don't even need to do that because pacman keeps track of dependencies itself and installs those dependencies system-wide automatically. Even python packages.
And practically, just install and use the recommended/required python version.
